you mean the Bloater, yes?

First of all, Netfront (I think that's what it's called?) is what I'd use, if I needed a browser, BUT:

a browser doesn't make a device Internet capable, there is a thing, or maybe even more than one, that you do on internet capable devices that do not involve browser

secondly, no matter how you cut it, there is no substitute for cubic inches, ooops, sorry, screen real estate

no amount of pinch to zoom makes up for bigger screen, that's why I note have 7in and 10 in gadgets.

and, whilst Palm browsers, to be kind, are pretty poor at best, it's kind of pointless comparing them to newer gen device, I think

Yeah, well, office capable, maybe, again, office capable doesn't equal doc editing, not by a long shot.

Everything that's important to me is in text files, editable on any device, past or present.


YMMV, but it works for me.
