# Qtopia Desktop

Qtopia Desktop is the pc-based companion application to the mobile device-based version of Qtopia. Qtopia Desktop provides mouse and keyboard-based convenience for the phone/pda-based applications. It also offers a simply and straightforward way for the user to modify application settings, synchronize data, and manage software.

Available free of charge from the Trolltech Qtopia products and downloads page, it can be installed on a desktop pc or laptop running a variety of platforms including Linux, Mac OS, and Windows.

Qtopia Desktop provides the following functionality:

- easy keyboard-based entry of information into Qtopia
- view Qtopia's information
- synchronization of information between Qtopia Desktop and the mobile device
- synchronization of information directly from 3rd party applictions and the mobile device
- transfer documents
- install applications on the embedded device from the internet or your machine
- import and export data between 3rd party applications and Qtopia

Qtopia Desktop can easily be extended by the developer to be able to extend the above functionality for their application's data. In fact, most existing functionality provided by Qtopia Desktop is provided by Trolltech using this architecture. Every icon seen on the left hand column of Qtopia Desktop is using the same architecture and APIs that is exposed to any developer.

For historical reasons, you may see the name Palmtop Center in function names or the code. This was an earlier name for Qtopia Desktop.
