Correction - and my apologies to the developers of
http://www.ratp.fr
! That website is loading much more quickly than I remember, particularly on N770 connected to WLAN, now that I have 48MHz kernel working.
However, my point about mobile sites is that the Tablets are perfect for arranging alternate travel plans while on the move, when original plans fall through. Sometimes this means accessing the full website. (I am delighted that OS2008HE allows me into ticket-purchasing systems of Easyjet and Trenitalia, among others - not possible on OS2006.) Other times, to save on expensive roaming data, the mobile site is preferable. The mobile site often displays info much more clearly than the full website, with fewer extraneous distractions; this makes a big difference when you are getting panicky about missed flights, etc.

is still a good illustration of that last point: it takes a lot of zooming and scrolling on the 90mm x 55mm screen to pick out the info you need from their very full web pages.
While mobile pages can be read on a phone's browser, the Tablet makes it much easier and they load much faster. These are reasons why Tablet owners (this one, anyway) would want to use their tablets to read mobile pages. All the more thanks to Qwerty12 for helping us do it. Some senior members have objected to the very idea of reading mobile pages on the Tablets and have wondered why anyone would want to rotate the screen by 90 deg. This junior member finds good reasons to do both.
