Pertaining Modest; it's always sucked. Sad part, it's better than the e-mail client it replaced. And that was even worse. Same for the browser(s). I remember using (and somewhat liking) the Opera based browser, then Microb came along. It's usable as is; but it won't support all of HTML5 features as is. That's what I mean by Maemo never has nor said it would do that. Feel free to complain about Modest. I'm willing to bet I'd agree. Hell, I don't even use Modest, just use the browser for Gmail... that's it.
They're maemo and MeeGo... "Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
