This article from LinuxDevices.com details how KDE is being brought to all devices running any environment.
A group of KDE developers is closing in on a PIM (personal information manager) suite that can run on Qtopia PDAs/smartphones as well as Linux, Windows, and Mac desktops. The Pi-Sync Project says the organizer component of its platform-independent PIM suite is now feature-complete and stable.
The Pi-Sync project aims to develop platform-independent versions of a full complement of KDE PIM applications, ultimately providing a seamless way of managing appointments, todos, addresses, email, and VoIP phones across multiple systems. To some extent, KDE-PIM already does this; however, KDE-PIM cannot currently run on Qtopia-based Linux PDAs and smartphones. Qtopia vendor Trolltech expects 20 mobile phones based on Qtopia Phone Edition to reach market this year.
