I presume none. I guess The engine wouldn't be in QT, just the interface. As we have our own interface (MicroB/browser-ui) which is in GTK that uses the engine.

Besides, the next release of ITOS will have unofficial community QT support and the release after that will have official QT support built in AFAIK.

The Gecko engine is written in C++.

But there are Qt and GTK UI for KHTML/WebKit already, while there wasn't a Qt UI for Mozilla. Soon, Qt (and KDE) users can benefit from Gecko and/or Mozilla in native Qt.

Maybe Nokia will, after Harmatan, switch to Qt instead of GTK.

What's the point of a Qt port of FF3? It wouldn't run faster on the tablet or consume less memory, would it?

There are some compares between memory usage of GNOME and KDE, one of a year or so ago, by Novell employee Lucas. KDE was a bit lighter on memory usage.
