GPE is not a single piece of software, but a complete environment of components which makes it possible to use a GNU/Linux handheld for tasks such as Personal Information Management (PIM). GPE also provides the infrastructure needed by developers; besides providing core software such as shared libraries, the GPE environment fixes standards for program interaction such as SQL, XML and other data schemas.
The GPE folks claim that the name GPE pre-dates hosting on handhelds.org and that the active project should be the one to hold the trademark, as all handhelds.org ever did was provide hosting services.
The GPE mailing list archives show no activity of consequence at handhelds.org since April whereas the LTG list is fairly active.
GPE uses the X Window System, the GTK+ widget toolkit, and the Matchbox window manager.
