I disagree. We only have one AUX button and I think we need it for other
reasons.

And I don't want to load web sites that enables "drag-n-drop" feature.
Wouldn't it take too much ram and cpu?

If I want a full featured web browser, I can use my laptop. I want to use
the Freerunner when I do not have my laptop with me. In those cases, I don't
need drag'n drop support. But I would like java and javascript support for
the browser.
