Very nice, after this is updated to the newest webkit, and there is touch scrolling, it is going to kick MicroB's a55....
No real stability problems so far, faster than MicroB.

There is touch scrolling in SVN, added by Ignacius, however didn't release it until I got fixed the sqlite3 problems and get a newer WebKit running (which i couldn't yet). My recent job change is leaving me with even less time for that unfortunately. 
The stability problems show up after a while.

Releasing an update which requires the new WebKits and has zoom and kinetik scrolling. Look in the first post.

Wow! Kinetic scrolling works pretty well! Only, it doesn't seem to distinguish betwen a tap and a scroll, so every little tap on the page (even to stop scrolling) moves the page a little. I also experienced enough random crashes while trying to scrol to make it unusable for me... The only command line output:
If you need me to run any more diagnostics, let me know. I am using your compilation of webkit.
As for zooming -- either add a "Zoom to 100%" option, display a "100% zoom" notification when it's reached, or do both. Other than eyeballing it, there's currently no way to see if 100% zoom is reached. I would also put the zoom options under view in the menu, in addition to their current location.
Lastly, with my n800 and its on-screen keyboard, I'm unable to enter passwords in password text boxes. This kills quite a few websites (here, e-mail, etc...)
Overall... with a few annoyances fixed, I'd gladly use this instead of the built-in browser!
Code:
~ $ tear tear[2086]: GLIB CRITICAL ** Gtk - gtk_container_add: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed tear[2086]: GLIB CRITICAL ** Gtk - gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed Segmentation fault

Thanks for the update. I like Tear a lot
I keep getting "incompatible application package" when trying to install the new webkit library. I guess I'm doing something wrong... any ideas?

Thanks. It worked!
IMHO it is the BEST browser for the tablet.
I am heavy Midori user but always kept an eye on Tear...
It certainly got to the point were I choose it as my primary browser.
I love the kinetic scroll (though it is a bit too sensitive at the moment). The zoom is a huge advantage over Midori and it zooms in/out instantly (much faster than microb).
Pages are being rendered blazing fast (I LOVE WebKit) and I finally can see RTL+Unicode perfectly!
Thanks !!

Tear is a really great addition to the NIT! I have one problem. Some links just don't work in tear.
Example: my.yahoo.com - sign in link in upper right corner of screen won't work
Example: www.google.com - same thing, dead sign in link in upper right of screen.
Really looking forward to seeing this develop! Thanks & please keep up the great work!
