Web Browser?

[Jose Manrique Lopez de la Fuente]

Just some questions...

Does OpenMoko include a web browser?

If yes:
Is it included in wurfl[1] file?
Does it send x-wap-profile header with a link to a rdf describing its
capabilities[2]?

Perhaps this could help to implement a Device Description to help web
servers to send the right content to the device... Read more about
this W3C group[3]

Best regards,
