Basically .. TrollTech is a software company.. principally doing Linux on mobile phones.

"Trolltech provides cross-platform software development frameworks and application platforms. Trolltech's Qt is used in popular software such as Skype, Google Earth, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Lucasfilm and by more than 5000 customers worldwide. Trolltech's Qtopia has enabled a new generation of exciting consumer devices such as mobile handsets, video-phones, set-top boxes and media players. Trolltech's software has shipped in more than 10 million devices."

There maybe implications for S60 phones such as the N95.
I know I'd love my N95 to be able to run a desktop os .. thats unlikely to happen immediately .. but its now more likely than it was before this acquisition.
