Here's an announcement from the KDE website about a port of Konquerer, the KDE browser, onto Qt/Embedded, the embedded version of the Trolltech's Qt GUI toolkit on which KDE is based. Quoting from the announcement . . .

“I just uploaded a first version of Konqueror/Embedded, a port of the Konqueror webbrowser to Qt/Embedded, to [this url]. The project aims to build a feature-complete version of the webbrowsing component of Konqueror for Qt/Embedded, including support for SSL, cookies, JavaScript, non-blocking I/O, HTML4/CSS, etc. Well, basically almost everything the 'big brother' can do, with the main difference that it consists of only one static, small binary (plus some small data files). The status of development is that it is almost feature complete (http authentication caching is missing). There are a few bugs left and some cosmetic changes in the GUI. Depending on the compiler/binutils used the size of a stripped binary is somewhere between 2.1 and 2.8 megabytes.”

Further details, including screenshots, are available here.
