That may be true for the people that frequent this board, but not necessarily for the general population. If their favourite page fails to load because is uses a Flash-Menu without fallback, java and some weird activex plugin they will mostly not come to the conclusion that the webmaster is at fault. No, it will be “The iLiad sucks! Why cant I view www.dancingjesus.com?”
The moment iRex would advertise “Browse the web on your iLiad” people would simple expect to be able to do everything they do on their PC, including Flashgames or homebanking.

A way for Irex to provide at least a limited browsing-experience would be to provide a limited version of their IDS-Server to end-users. Like an RSS aggregator it could keep package and preformat a number of selected Websites and RRS feeds and transfer these to the iLiad.
