I know you mention it in the post, but goodness gracious the wasted toolbar space!

Can you trim it down and take a picture of a rendered page? I'm curious how well it renders stuff that is modern/complex/tricky.

Checkout the link to the video it shows some rendered pages scrolling.

Edit: I didn't take the photo, just got it from someone who had the device and took a minute to try loading it for me.

This is definitely the most shallow comment I have made, but: what a deeply unfortunate application icon.

:) Yah it could use a better one or at least tweak the legs. Propose a better one and i'll post it on the arora-dev mailinglist.

Originally it was suppose to be a sleeping polar bear, later on we noticed other interpretation :)

It could be worse. http://www.geticeweasel.org/

Always feel sad for QNX - it was (and still is) a very lightweight Unix-like OS with a sense of actual design, particularly around the package management tools and graphical interfaces. If they Open Sourced it, it would have been the next Linux, if they had found a good partner (like Apple after Be wanted more money) it could have been OS X. Alas, hardly anyone's using it.

Webkit is everywhere and it's great! Now if we could just get IE and Firefox to use WebKit for rendering :), it would be AWESOME!!!

and then when a vulnerability is found in webkit, it will affect everyone at once. awesome!!!

So should we come up with our own openssl libraries while we're at it?

Not saying I disagree or agree with you, but it's more complicated than 'diverse = good'.
