OT (ish), I'd love it if someone could explain the appeal of browsing the internet on an iLiad? It just strikes me as a totally inappropriate device for the job, as it's slow, black and white, and difficult to enter text into.

I can see the appeal of the form factor, and can see that being black and white won't matter for some web pages, but beyond that is this a case of wanting to do it "because I can"?

I'm not knocking people for wanting it, just trying to understand why. This is also not the same as having internet access on the iLiad - that's fine for the appropriate use such as browsing and downloading content, but for general web browsing?
