Yes you are. Pretty much the pholosophy of the whole Palm VII is not to replace a
browser. The whole development enviroment is
there for you to take "web clippings" from internet sites. Remember that you are
working with a very thin pipe.
The long and short is that all of these <put one to three letters here>ML conventions
do not take such a small screen and low
bandwidths into consideration. Not even Lynx took such a small screen into
consideration when it was first written. Thus,
everyone is doing their own custom, low bandwidth solutions. That is why you don't see
any generic, wide area wireless, internet
browsers.
