*better browser (mozilla isn't that good, just better than opera)
*mozilla add-ons
*better integration with google (buttons, documents, etc)
*java
*skype + video
*figure out the certificate issues
*easier VPN abilities
i'm sure there are others. the point, i think you are making, is to really ramp up the web apps/web capabilities. NOTE: Archos just went global with their wrecks. the wifi/umpc/ market is growing....
Let's see. First, the OP has a 770, not 800. Second, the point the OP is making--in the OP's words--is:

"I use my 770 strictly for using websites...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'....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."

Can't get much clearer than this. The OP doesn't want to ramp up web apps or eliminate apps for other users, just wants a browser-only config for his use.

So: is it possible?
