"Trolltech has released the Qt 4.4.0 technical preview, a pre-release that allows software developers to begin experimenting with the new features that the company has implemented for the next version. I compiled the technical preview release from source code and tested it on my desktop computer with Ubuntu 7.10. For testing purposes, I experimented with several of the new features, examined the included demo applications, and created a few simple programs of my own. The 4.4.0 technical preview adds a new concurrency framework, enhanced XML support, the Phonon media framework, and an integrated HTML renderer widget based on WebKit. This release is also the first to include support for rendering widgets on a GraphicsView component - a feature that will enable Qt developers to create richer and more dynamic user interfaces."

That is actually incorrect. The Nokia-made web browser in the ITOS2006 and ITOS2007 releases used to be powered by the Opera engine; the browser in the newly-released ITOS2008 is powered by Gecko.
I stand corrected. I thought Nokia had done some customisation stuff with them as well as having WebKit powered stuff on their Symbian browsers.

That is actually incorrect. The Nokia-made web browser in the ITOS2006 and ITOS2007 releases used to be powered by the Opera engine; the browser in the newly-released ITOS2008 is powered by Gecko. There are third parties working on bringing WebKit to the device via the WebKit GTK+ port, but this effort hasn't achieved general availability yet.
You're probably thinking of the web browser that Nokia ships as part of its latest generation Symbian-powered "Series 60" cell phones, which is indeed based on WebKit.
