According to a notification of trade on the Oslo Børs market, Nokia has made an offer for Trolltech of about 843 million Norwegian kroner , around €104 million.
What this could mean for GTK+ is anyone’s guess. I’d expect at least that Nokia’s competitors that use Qtopia (like Motorola, Panasonic and Sony) are probably a little worried at the moment. Maybe there’ll be impetus for OSSO to move over to Qt, or maybe there’ll be internal competion at Nokia between a Qtopia stack and a GTK+/X11/Freedesktop stack. Maybe Qt will become more closed as Nokias pushes its advantage, or maybe it’ll be more open as development becomes less dependant on non-GPL license revenues, or maybe it’ll just stay the same.
An interesting left-field move in this space is OpenMoko moving over to EFL, but on a primarily GNOME/Freedesktop stack. EFL is certainly much more capable than GTK+ in producing flashy UI’s on limited hardware. I”ve also heard of some companies writing UI’s in Flash using Gnash. I also wouldn’t be suprised if we start seeing embedded hardware running Mono and Moonlight at some point.
Maybe one day we’ll have a GTK3 with DOM-like two pass event system and a cairo backend that renders totally on the GPU. One thing’s for certain, there’s a hell of a lot of competition on the toolkit front and it will only grow. adobe photo shop serial

It’s an inspiring acquisition on Nokia’s part, but one hopes that GTK+ will still be championed amongst their devices.
There are already devices with Mono. Miguel has mentioned them many times, I think it is Sansa Connect: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2007/Apr-10.html
Zing has been aquired by Dell, so it is Dell developing this Linux+Mono device now
[...] sensed some enthusiasm in Rob’s post about all this Nokia and Trolltech stuff. My guess is that Rob is trying to tell us: “jeej! stuff is moving! Let’s go for [...]
As a developer I prefer Qt by a long shot. As a desktop user I prefer the Gnome/GTK stack.
Is there more information about this “two pass dom event structure”? The linked page only contains these same words with no more details.
