    Most people think this is not useable. Guess I will see.

    Well that was exciting. I get a black screen with Firefox at the top and then it closes. :(

    Firefox plug-ins aside, you get the same affect from Dolphin Browser

    I gave up on Dolphin because I could never get the gestures right.

    I use xScope. It is going through a massive upgrade and is even faster now.

    In addition to not working at all, Firefox uses 17.5mb of phone memory when installed to the SD card. ?!?

    * Ahah! The beta only runs on ARMv7. Off to try the experimental ARMv6 version.

    ** :( The ARMv6 version opens but doesn't go to any websites. And it takes !40mb! of phone memory!
