So the name is probably derivated from 'technology from the land of the trolls' - Trolltech

there you have a typical skogtroll (wood throll).

And troll as internet mischief is also probably based in the same scandinavian folklore:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)

"The word likely gained currency because of its apt second meaning, drawn from the trolls portrayed in Scandinavian folklore and children's tales; they are often ugly, obnoxious creatures bent on mischief and wickedness."

That should answer your comment.]]>Apr 25th 2008 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/Apr 25th 2008 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/Apr 26th 2008 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/Apr 26th 2008 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/Hm. Maemo might be replaced by Ubuntu Mobile. Part of me is sad, part of me is happy. But I think it'll be more happy than sad in the long run (embracing standardization).

This could mean that the OS in general is geared for a more powerfull CPU then the ARM core the Nokia tablets use, or could move in that direction. ]]>Apr 24th 2008 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/Apr 24th 2008 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/UserInterface (at least IMHO).]]>Apr 24th 2008 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/Apr 24th 2008 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/Apr 24th 2008 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/Apr 24th 2008 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/24/nokia-internet-tablets-to-get-ubuntu-and-qt-ports/
