Henrik recorded some cool videos showing off a bit of the integration of WebKit into Qt. The Quicktime videos are at the bottom of our QtWebKit announcement page, showing WebKit in designer, integrating Google maps into your Qt application or how to embed native widgets into HTML.

Thank you Simon, it is Quite impressive!
Will it be able to show a web page with Flash/PDF?
A worrying trend of unadequacy:
the quicktime format can’t be played legally or easilly under linux due to its vendors behavior toward competition and interoperability.
So please, take some time to think about us, linux and KDE users, and about interoperability, to make those sites and its content accessible to us on linux, on KDE, in konqueror, without any hassle. Thanks.
Sorry, I found Netscape-plugin issues in 5.3 Future Improvements of the whitepaper.
Having a widget to wrap Netscape-plugin sounds even better! Thanks.
All my Linux movie players do not display correctly the movies or do not display them at all, exiting with an error.
I tried Mplayer, KMplayer, VLC, Kaffeine, Miro. Mplayer was the only one to display the movies for a few seconds before crashing.
I am using Kubuntu 7.10
Please fix this, as I doubt I am the only one experiencing it.
I have the same problem as Bogdan. Your movies do not play on Linux. Please fix the format.
add me to the count of i-cant-see-the videos people
Why .mov? whyyyyy? 
when will Qt4.4 beta be released?
Well, for those that are complaining about codecs….
I am on Mandriva’s amd64 install, using the default codecs, and kaffeine (xine engine) plays this just fine. This is mostly due to mandriva caring less about patents than other distros, which is fine. Please direct your anger at the patent system, not KDE peeps
@Troy Unrau: None of the people are complaining about KDE here, where do you see that? People complain about the fact that those video should have been posted in an open free format such as theora (or xvid which at least is open but patented) so that linux users could see them. If you are opposed to patent, you should also be opposed to those that support them and their technology, in this case Apple and QuickTime.
mplayer seems to think these videos are qt4rle video, which displays, albeit badly, and the audio is imadpcm format, which just pops and crackles.
We have added OGG files now after exporting using XiphQT on Mac. Simply replace the .mov extension with .ogv. OGG download links should be visible soon as well. Sorry for the inconvenience guys
I’d like to second the question about Flash plugin support. Will I be able to display flash widgets or invoke the flash player?
very cute!
oh, in the webkitdemo2_google.mov you can see a bug: in the property browser, the url property again shows “about:blank” after it has been changed to “www.google.com”
Hi Stefan, NPAPI support is described here: http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/QtWebKitTodo
Zandru: Thanks for noticing this! I have filed a report on it
I use QWebView class from qtopia-core-4.4-snapshot-20080204 in the application,
and my plateform is a ARM-9 Linux with 256M NAND flash YAFFS filesystem, the RAM is 128M.
The QWebView works fine !!! but the remote web page loading speed is slow, I want to known
if there are some setting I can use to make the caching more quick or something else can help
the speed of browsering. Thanks !!! Sorry for maybe this is not the right place to ask the question.
I’m using QtWebKit and it seems to work really well. The only problem I found is with PNG images. The “quality” is sometimes bad or the images are “wrong” (see http://developer.apple.com/products/videos/it/ for an example).
Do you plan to give access to the “Document” trough the Qt API?
