I use my 770 strictly for using websites. None of the 'native apps' that I have installed perform any better than the webapps that I use. I don't use the RSS, Email, Music, or Video playing functions. It makes sense to me to do away with this 'home screen' and 'app launcher' and just have a 'web browser'.

I'm sure it would save RAM if all I had was this:

* battery meter
* wifi / bluetooth connection manager
* volume control
* web browser

Is there any work on this front? I see people are porting KDE and other stuff to it, but what about a minimalist's dream: X with a full screen web browser (with a big red 'restart' button)? Anyone else with me on this?

I would use this thing so much more if I didn't have to launch the web browser. If there was a way to disable the 'close' button on the top of the web browser, and set it to always fullscreen mode, we would almost be there.
