Perhaps. The only time I bothered to try it on the device was back when MicroB first came out, and it constantly needed restarting (making browsing completely impossible while it was down). This has probably changed, but the CSS/hosts setup works well enough for me on the NITs (and I have a smart browser to take care of it on OS X ).

I hate to bring up a stupid suggestion, but did you restart?
