Maybe confusing it with opera mini? I've never heard of MicroB being client-server and the wikipedia article doesn't mention anything like that. I think timeless is mistaken regarding the MicroB.

I didn't realise you could install your own Weave server as well. Might have to play with that when I get time. I do like the technology and I think Mozilla are doing a good job on it. Have a nice day too! :) @Matej – Thanks for the links. I didn’t realise you could install your own Weave server as well. Might have to play with that when I get time.

Enjoy! (I haven't tried that though, because I don't have my own http server yet). Have a nice day, sir, Matěj Dan, for your pleasure,

Bear with me I haven’t lost my mind. It’s great to have a choice of browsers and competition is always good. On the desktop I use Firefox 80% of the time and Chromium the other 20%. On the mobile though it’s Micro B 80% of the time and Firefox 20%. Once the performance improves and I fix flash support that balance may shift. For now though my verdict on Firefox Mobile 1.0 is nice try, I really like the potential, but come back when it’s a bit more polished.

Replacing it through their service would cost a lot. Also the idea that I had to purchase "plugins" to even play new formats is ridiculous, and I have to purchase more than once if I own more than one Archos. Also being very late to releasing their SDK. I don't know how their business strategy is now though, so they might have improve, but they were one of the best PMP devices for playing videos. Not a fan of iRiver after they became Microsoft partner. I think Cowon does a good job at providing features and formats. Right now I'm using a Rockboxed Sansa, so I would recommend nathaniel to try Rockbox if he hasn't. I've grown to love the features of Rocbox so I would not buy another mp3 player that doesn't have: 1. Ogg/FLAC support (see #2) 2. Rockbox 3. Removable battery Kind of nifty, the new version of Rockbox have a feature that allow my Sansa to become a mouse for the desktop. Regarding mp3 players,

Lot's of people are raving to me about the Cowon players right now, Archos also do nice players. I've always used a player that just works as an external drive. You can do MTP syncing on Linux too of course if needed. Android phones and other things offer this functionality too. Good luck with it, I hope it works out! @nathaniel – That’s a cool idea.
