A Qt Blog

From KDE Dot News:

A group of core KDE developers has begun work on porting WebKit, Apple's derivative of KHTML (the HTML rendering engine used in Konqueror), to Qt 4. The initial work for "Unity" was done at the KDE Four Core meeting in Trysil, Norway, by Dirk Mueller, Zack Rusin, Simon Hausmann and George Staikos. The plan is not, at the moment, to replace KHTML with Unity, but to merge recent work done on KHTML into WebKit and synchronise the two engines. For more details (and screenshots), see the KDE Dot News link above.

From KDE Dot News:

Nokia have announced that they are using WebCore, Apple's web-page rendering engine, derived from the KHTML engine developed by the KDE project for Konqueror, in their new web browser to appear on their Symbian-based S60 smartphone platform. Nokia unveiled the browser at the Nokia Mobility Conference 2005 in Barcelona (Spain); the press release claims that the new browser "is aimed to provide smartphone users with a true Web experience and industry leading performance when browsing full Web pages on the Internet using a smartphone". The associated JavaScript engine is also being used; the press release doesn't say whether or not it will work with Movable Type's and Wordpress's formatting keys (none of the present KHTML family browsers do). Features listed on the press release seem to match those associated with desktop browsers.
