netsurf is already ported and its SDL interface is almost not usable
without the mouse. keymouse somehow addresses this issue, but this is
still no good. gdk-pixbuf interface of netsurf could be more usable
without the mouse, but it's slow like hell.
the only working "graphical" browsers now are w3m (-img) and links
(-g), both ported btw.

Hello everyone,
I am extremely interested in your organisation. In particular, I
think
you have a veritable masterpiece in the Nanonote line. If I may
say so,
I think I have found the "ukulele" of computers- it is small,
marvellously capable and hard to put down, just like a uke.
However,
there are many improvements to be made, I am sure you get that a
lot.
I am interested in learning to be almost entirely self-sufficient
in
terms of understanding the inner workings of a system so I can
take full
advantage of the famous 4 Freedoms.
Urgent issues I would like addressed in the second Nanonote are:
change of keyboard layout. I am guessing we have more than one
mother
tongue for people hacking on the NN. Qwerty can't possibly serve
all of
them equally well. qwerty... was cool about 100 years ago...not so
much
now, especially since we have the design freedom to think for
ourselves.
maybe a vote or compromise can be reached...perhaps we should
optimise
it for thumb-typing...
need of a browser. I don't need to say much here, I'm not looking
for
FireFox4 here, just something light and graphical (Minimo, Dillo,
etc.)
Take a look on netsurf (http://www.netsurf-browser.org/). I tried it
on Zipit
Z2 (it's pretty similar to nanonote, just pxa270-based and has wifi)
and it
looks pretty good (see
http://anarsoul.blogspot.com/2011/04/netsurf-on-zipit-
z2.html). Maybe someone want to make port for nanonote? :)
Considering that the Zipit is more hardware for the money with almost
2x the cpu power and wifi, do you think it's worth getting one to hold
me over until the new nanonote comes out? What OS do you run on the
Zipit? Have you been locked into a contract? It has baffled me how
netsurf is so broken on Nanonote, it took me by surprise because I used
to run Firefox BonEcho on my HP Jornada with same RAM and a 206 mhz ARM
chip. However, I think that's the way things are, at least for now.
