From your other post, I'm reading this as meaning that webapps are designed for a device like this, with WiFi, no disk storage and (at least as configured from Nokia) little memory.

That's a good point to keep in mind. OTOH, I think a key factor in its appeal is the all the GTK+ software that can be and is being ported to it.

But there's a difference between wanting to put all and every kind of software on this device and being free to put any kind of software on it -- in your other post, you bring this out when you say "If you don't have a computer at home the Nokia 770 can't cover all your needs."

Tryky wants PIM software, and there's some there, GPE-PIM. Someone else wants word processing (to read Word documents, say) and AbiWord is there. I want a few games for my kids to play in the car on a trip, and they're there. Already. And lest your statement add any confusion, adding a few apps is completely within the capabilities of this device.
