I disagree. We only have one AUX button and I think we need it for other reasons. And I don't want to load web sites that enables "drag-n-drop" feature. Wouldn't it take too much ram and cpu? If I want a full featured web browser, I can use my laptop. I want to use the Freerunner when I do not have my laptop with me. In those cases, I don't need drag'n drop support. But I would like java and javascript support for the browser. -- Please don't send me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
