Qt 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.

I'm just starting to play with laptop GPS solutions - mostly Windows proprietary (Streets and Trips, TOPO!) but I'm experimenting with Java open source (GPSylon), and want to try Linux (GPSdrive, see http://tuxmobil.org/navigation_gps.html for more). My next PDA will either have GPS built in (like a Garmin iQue), or more likely it will have bluetooth to communicate with a separate GPS (so PDA can velcro to steering wheel, GPS on top of dashboard). It would be great if I could consider a Linux PDA or Linux smartphone (though smartphones will probably have too small of a display).

So my question for Haavard would have been whether his company would consider (either starting from scratch or helping to bring a current solution such as qpeGPS out of alpha) developing a nice integrated GPS solution that would allow either open or proprietary map formats.
