More Internet surfers will be using mobile devices than 'desktops' some time in
the near future. By the way, all those Linux-based devices that browse the Web

It's an orphan.

First Look at Minimo

| I was very impressed with minimo. Actually, using minimo showed me

| because the screen are too small and the interfaces cramped. Somehow,
| minimo sidesteps all these and it made a convert out of me.
