And I believe I have heard of a hack to get tabbed browsing, though it was a while ago, and assuredly not compatible with Diablo. I still don't get why anyone wants it on this size of screen; there's not that many pixels to waste, IMHO.

It is interesting, but the one thing I alternately curse and thank his Jobsness for is the emphasis on web-apps. It gives us web-apps, but it also encourages people to make platform-specific rubbish, instead of generic touch-friendly, small-screen-friendly apps. (They even got Google, who should have known better, IMHO, to do a shoddy job with iPhone GMail such that it was bad on any other resolution...)
Never understood the whole tabbed browsing thing myself at all. Even on a full-sized screen. What's to stop me opening up a couple of browser sessions in new windows and just rapidly switching between them via the taskbar. Memory constraints you might say, but most modern machines have oodles of excess memory for that.

Not to hijack the thread, but I am much more interested, for example, in how people use the camera on the n810. Seems to me I always end up in the shot, or the picture is poorly composed as I am holding the n810 cack-handed, trying to shoot something I just can't see on the screen (since it's pointed away from me).
