Still, this board is prety usable! Gotta love Presto... (shame modern Opera is a typical Chinese Chrome clone)

Funny thing, a long while ago I played around with the Opera browser on an old Sony Ericsson J2ME phone we have lying around, trying to go onto websites with it and laughing at how badly everything fit on a screen that was literally only a couple ten thousand pixels in resolution. It's amazing how far the mobile internet has gotten, from WAP and the like on laughably tiny screens to near-desktop site experiences on large soap dish sized screens at high resolutions. ...You have to admit though, the mobile games back then were probably more fun, even though they usually were limited to being as small as 64kb(!) for widest compatibility. I'm too young to have experienced it myself back in the day (Android 2.x is basically the earliest I experienced), but I could at least look back on it with second-hand nostalgia with old feature phones lying around and J2ME emulators.

Would be interesting really if someone went through and got a recent version of the GNUTLS library (or equivalent) working on MIDlets, though I doubt the investment is worth it these days...
