You obviously have not been keeping up with developments. It's not just a
browser, more importantly it allows you to do dynamic HTML and synchronize
databases via a network. As a beta tester of their 3.0 server, I can say
that it is coming of age and I recommend that anyone that wants to view web
content on their Palm should go to http://www.avantgo.com and make up their
own mind. Oh, it's a free service for personal users (as someone
mentioned).
