Quite the opposite - Qt Palmtop is under heavy development. We have focussed
mainly on the infrastructure so far, but the applications and syncing are now
getting much attention. Qt Palmtop has quite an active community supporting
it and Trolltech is very focussed on Qt Palmtop being the best Palmtop PIM
suite available for Linux.
If you want to replace Windows with Linux and want the same functionality you
should wait. But the wait will be a short one.
