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.

the possible patent problems with MS led me to believe Qt# wasn't going to be a full fledged first class citizen for KDE/Qt development.
The only "possible patent problems" are over the .NET APIs, not over Mono or bindings of Mono to non-.NET languages. A lot of C# programming on Mono is based on the core C# APIs plus tons of existing open source libraries, which would not be affected even if MS's patent was valid and even if they foolishly tried to enforce it against Mono.
