On Monday, OSNews had the pleasure of talking face to face with Trolltech's CEO and founder, Haavard Nord. Mr Nord discussed with us the new features found in Qt 3.3 (download, changes, announcement), Qtopia and the arising market of Linux in mobile phones as well as in the business computer market. Update: ITManagersJournal hosts a Trolltech article as well.

"If the people at GTK can do it for free and in their own time, why can't Trolltech manage it?"
Ask yourself, how big is the market for .NET developers on non-Windows platfroms and remember that TrollTech is a company and wants to be profitable.
BTW, if there is interest people can do a Qt/Mono binding in their free time too, but seeing that Qt# is dead shows us that there is not much demand for such a thing. I think Mono is still good two years behind MS.Net and still has a long way to go before it is ready for big enterprice deployment. I am sure if Mono is more mature and there is demand then a Qt/Mono binding will appear.
