Yes, the original Handspring Treo, successive Palm Treos, the iPhone in all iterations, and the Palm Pre/Pixi - all without 3rd party anythings.

Yes, the Palm Pre does the same, just not with as many apps, but definitely something that can't be programmed in there in a future firmware update - whoops, shouldn't have said that

Seriously... well, ok.

Browsing: iPhone and any Android device; any well RAM equipped Symbian device will also give very solid browsing experience, with a better handheld UI on the non-touchscreen ones to boot.

The Archaos Android tablet, pic a Windows Mobile device and add CorePlayer. Heck find a Palm LifeDrive and you can run a torrent app.

Thank you Maemo team - I still love my Maemo 4 powered n810 and looks like you've exceeded that.

Thank you.
Functionality does not a good user experience make. Its only one part of that. For that, you (and everyone else here) are welcome.
