I submit to you that all of the above together are vastly lighter than your average twitter or facebook client, let alone an entire browser :-)

But what about folks that want less? It needs to be cheap. It needs to be quick to port to and it could be web only. Does that mean that this will be a solution? No.

Indeed. I'm not at all excited by the concept, but its one saving grace is that Mozilla don't seem to have much vested interest in making devices that are actively hostile against their owners. Iff those devices materialise, it may be possible to do interesting stuff with them.
