Introduction

Qtopia 4.1.3 is a patch release that provides:

• improved performance
• fixes for a number of bugs.

Enhancements

1. Performance:
   • Qtopia 4.1.3 runs in a memory footprint of 32MB of RAM on a Linux mobile phone device.
   • An example test on a mobile phone with 32MB of RAM provides information relevant to most devices and Qtopia ran comfortably with six applications in the background. The combination of the Linux OS, Qtopia and the six applications resulted in consumed memory of approximately 16MB.
   • For optimal performance Qtopia Phone Edition requires a minimum of 32MB of RAM to function. It will function with less memory however performance will be degraded.
