That's not the point. The point is, not a single aspect of Firefox will actually be carried over except a vague cosmetic resemblance. It simply won't be Firefox. And yes, as it happens I do want Flash and Java. Until HTML5 actually works there's simply too many things that can't be done without them. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

My understanding is that all it does in addition to the rendering is the UI layout? Even if Apple's rules allowed them to use Gecko, surely they wouldn't use Gecko for the UI over Apple's kit? _________________

The first betas wouldn't even start up, they were using too much memory. But, instead of trying to optimise the code, they complained that Microsoft wouldn't increase the arbitrary memory limit for applications in Windows Mobile (which would mean recalling all WM devices and installing more physical memory  ).

I got the first alpha running on my X1 (same internals as the Touch HD) I had to use a barebones 6.1 rom with nothing else running though which is unacceptable. Opera on the other hand seems to work fine on the beta (with exception of the first connection always failing for some reason) _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
