> Opera as the browser?
Are you trying to get Boren excited? *smile*
Yes, but a variant thereof (Nokia give it a native, consistent
look-and-feel*). Opera also do browsers for PDA's and the last time I
heard of it, The Nintendo wii is bound to have Opera. Take this with a
grain of salt because my memory might betray me. Opera, in general, are
doing well on appliances.
Best wishes,
Roy
*Search for Nokia 770 images and you will probably see the browser, as
well as the remainder. It is a highly-sought-for device, according to a
Register article I could provide a link to (if you are interested of
course).
