I wouldn't be so sure. Mozilla is kicking ***, it's faster and lighter than ever (even when compared to WebKit), and there's more in the pipeline coming.

I wasn't aware that the fastness and lightness could be better than ever compared with one thing, and not when compared with another.

Whatever progress has been made, it still doesn't change the fact that Firefox has a much heavier and less agile codebase.
Either way, though, competition is a good thing and can only benefit the consumer.

Which system update are people that this release is working well for using? I was using the original OS2008 install and both the browsers (fennec and minefield or whatever they're called) were completely unstable for me, unable to even load a single page reliably. I just put on the 51-3 update though, was wondering if that might make it more reliable or if there's some other setup that people are using that makes it work. I really like one of them...I think Fennec...where it could have the entire GUI go away when browsing. But again, could not load anything reliably.

So, in that sense, bringing a better browser to that market will be the bigger win for the broader problem. It's more a statement about the current marketplace, and isn't really about the Internet Tablet. But if the N8x0 can help by eating away at Windows Mobile, so much the better!
[I should also point out that Blizzard is a long-time Linux guy, working in key roles at Red Hat and OLPC, so this is no Windows fanboy talking. :-)]
