Absolutely right. I'm just saying that if we don't push ahead (by definition, leaving someone behind, like all those lynx users ), we're just slowing down the rate of technological "evolution".


But ok, let's talk about the 770. Even though the processor is very unlikely to ever get upgraded (fancy some soldering?), what about a solution in software? A new browser pushed to the 770 that is highly optimized for js parsing?

Hell, I think that would qualify as a major update for the 3 year old device...


I agree, unnecessarily heavy == no benefit. But I just don't see that in the mockup site Bundyo presented (maybe Digg, not maemo). Could be more simple, but I don't see it as "too much" yet.
