Would be nice to check weather and exchange rates, etc..., but I can ask my wife or one of my kids to look it up on their device.

As it happens, NetFront is now running here.  A bit of Googling
revealed that Dmitry packaged NetFront and supporting files in a PRC
you could hotsync, and it would install it for you.   Worked fine and
was painless.  (How I missed the package poking around on Dmitry's
site isn't clear.)

(There's a TX ROM posed on Dmitry's site, but no documentation on the
site or in the archive of what it does and how it differs from the
stock ROM.  Without knowing more, I wasn't about to fiddle.)

Yep.  RIM bought Qnx, makers of a real time OS solution, and used Qnx
as the basis of the new BB OS.  It looks very nice indeed.  The big
lack at the moment is apps, which will require attracting developers
back to the platform.  It's a classic Catch 22: they need apps to sell
devices, but developers are unlikely to write for the platform unless
it has a proven market who might buy their wares.
