I see the point here.. really, it's not like the term "browser" is limited
to the desktop computer.. and if I did surf the web on my palm, I know I
would call the application through which I did that a "user agent". I think
it's safe to stick with "browser" as long as we make it clear we're not
limiting it to the desktop computer.
