TINY LAPTOP maker Asus has released a Software Developer's Kit (SDK) for the Eee PC today.

The software allows third-party developers to write new applications and includes an Eee PC-compatible Open Circulation Edition of the Xandros Desktop OS, the Eclipse development environment, a Qt4 toolkit, a developer's guide, sample applications, and a multilingual VMware testing and debugging environment.

The SDK is based on the Eclipse development environment and includes TrollTech's Qt for interface design. Asus is also supplying VMWare-compatible code to allow authors to create a virtual Eee on a high-spec machine, to develop and test code there before porting it to the sub-notebook itself.

Asus say they have released the kit in response to "thousands of source code downloads" from commercial developers and the open source community. ยต

Dimdows version?

Are they releasing an SDK for the Dimdows Eee as well? Not fair, otherwise!
