The Web is just a small part of the Internet. It has its own specific value, though, and to confine the potential of the 770 to the World Wide Web would be to severly restrict its usefulness and lower its efficiency as a network device. Remote X apps don't have to deal with the Web the same way that html pages do. To keep apps low in latency and high in remote responsiveness I would urge developers to use the Web when it suits their purposes, but not unless this is the case. In the same sense that GUIs have to be developed which totally suit the application (games, point of sale, etc.) so, too, do the ways in which we use the Internet have to be developed which totally suit the requirements of the 770 as a local and wide area network display device.

That little glimpse of the future's pretty exciting, isn't it? Document exactly what you did for all to follow.

I wrote a howto on my blog. If you find some points that need more explanation, just comment, and I'll see what I can do.
