one bothersome detail tho, facebook no longer see microb as a valid browser. but swap the user-agent to something more "mainstream" and it works, altho a bit slow thanks to some heavy use of javascript...

heh, latest pidgin even has support for the facebook im system.

but then i prefer to use mytube (wish there was a way to redirect youtube links to it from within microb) vs canola youtube plugin, media player or youamp vs canloa music and kmplayer vs canola video.

why? because they are slimmer, more focused apps for the task they do, and i can launch any one of them directly off personal menu or personal launcher.
I don't know of any existing apps that allow me to do all of that while offline, which is my big point that you seemed to have missed. One app that can deal with putting your social content online without you needing to worry about if you are online at that point or not. And no, I haven't found any apps for uploading pictures to Facebook, MySpace and Flickr at the same time. Or scrobbling to Last.FM from Media Player... or... everything else I said.

If you think that sounds like an OS... I'm... speechless.

Facebook works 100% fine in microb without needing to change any useragent details whatsoever.

I don't want a million small programs for each service that does the same thing. I want one program that can do it for all my services... and considering the push that Nokia's making to make the tablets more social, it makes sense. Well, to me anyways.
