Just as a dumb aside. Will the upcoming versions of Maemo actually use a webkit browser? If it's so much faster and memory friendly, it'd be silly to continue things as they are with the current browser, despite it being firefox based.

It's not so much memory friendly, it takes about the same amount of memory as MicroB.

I think microb is still on, but should be updated to a non-alpha Ff codebase, with much faster JS. My experience using Ff3 and Chromium shows no noticeable difference in speed, so I think we'll have two decent options. (This migration was planned for Diablo, but they ran out of time...)
