Hmm, I misunderstood that part, but I don't have the RSS feeder applet in high regard because it tries to be finger friendly leading to a lot of usage of the home screen. It cannot hold much information while remaining touch friendly, and there is no such thing as going easily back and forth between other forms of I/O such as e-mail.

What I like in S60v3 is that I have all kind of archives of various protocols and can conveniently swap to a different one (say inbox SMS, or e-mail) using the left and right button on dpad. I don't know how to add or remove one of these lists but browsing in this way is convenient. If RSS feeds would be included there, would be great.

My point here is that there is abstraction of the various protocols / information (like Pidgin), _and_ its convenient to quickly browse through the information and allowing the user to use the protocol as close to its full potential without sacrificing the abstraction.

Sacrifices are made. Like you put in example of 3G connection versus WLAN. Taking into account amount of 3G data used allowing user to monitor this is useful.

The way I see it there are 2 modus operandi. One is basic, for quick usage. The user has overview here. It is easy to quickly scan this. The other one is advanced for extended usage, giving a more (or 'the') full experience. As far as I'm concerned the latter is already the web browser visiting the web page with the RSS. OTOH, I'm not taking audio/video much into account.

BTW, we don't know when exactly Fennec will be production quality. From what I read on septembre 19 that'd be 2010.
