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'd be interested to know exactly what technical challenges were involved with a proper QT<>Mono binding. If the people at GTK can do it for free and in their own time, why can't Trolltech manage it?
Gtk+ is a C-based toolkit designed from the ground up to be bound to other languages (there are full, machine-readable API specs, for example). Qt is a C++-based toolkit that relies on lots of C++ features. That makes binding Qt to anything a challenge.
