p.s. Remember 'browser' is shorthand for 'web browser.' B&N could feel free to call their book buying app 'The B&N Book Browser.'
Of course in that sense, if someone asks if my Sony 350 has a browser, I could yes, it has me...I'm browsing through what's on it....
Ok this is where I'm getting confused, because to access BN's bookstore or to facebook and twitter it's connecting over Wifi which if you are at home connects to your internet connection. If wifi is off there is no "browsing" BN store nor any connection to Facebook or Twitter.

So it's connecting to the internet, just in a limited capacity.
