The guys that created this browser are no doubt real bright and I wish 
them the best of luck - I'm sure they have a market.

My bias/position comes from the desire to move mobility specific apps 
forward rather then squeezing the web into a small window. That approach 
never works on the long term. Sure reading a doc is nice but a 25 page 
doc or a site with flash designed for a large screen with perhaps a 
popup or two thrown in. I want to see new uses emerge specific to mobile 
and designed for mobile.
