Not to mention, you have to make a distinction between tap-to-navigate, and tap-to-select text, and what if the text is bounded around an image? We talked about this a couple of years ago, when quite a few people wanted this feature. In fact, I had two content providers say they specifically ONLY support AvantGo because AvantGo does *NOT* allow cut-n-paste in their viewer, so their users can't "steal" their copyrighted content (though I proved I could just bring up their site in a normal desktop browser with a Junkbuster hack to fake the AvantGo detection). Good idea, but a few concerns come to mind: 1. Bloat 2. Images, flowed text 3. Tap navigation, selection navigation (drag down 3 pages) 4. Bloat
