i second this!

this type of open palmtop OS Nokia is building is more than a bit gnomish, yet they needed a leaner HTML/JS render so they came out on Apple's WebCore (based on KHTML/KJS)...

They ported it to GTK:
http://gtk-webcore.sourceforge.net/

Nokia allready proted KHTML/JS away from a lot of Qt dependencies.

So the bottom line?
If this device is as open as it looks, it will run several mini distro's...
Then maybe one will be more KDE related.

Yet apps delivered for the default platform will probebly be GTKish.

But this is a guess...

It looks like a very interesting platform though.

From what I've seen, you're talking about two different things.
The linux tablet uses a gtk interface indeed, but the browser is a customized version of Opera.
The device on which will run this KHTML-derived engine will be Symbian based.

So two very different things.

Indeed, thanks for pointing out...

The WebCore port to GTK was originally done as a feasability study by Nokia for the InternetTablet770. The 770 will run Maemo.org (linux+gtk).

The Nokia Series60 will not run Linux bus symbian and will have neither Qt nor GTK, but will run WebCore by default.

Sorry,
_cies.
