Best line in the video: "Microb can do [portrait mode browsing] too, but it requires some hacks."
Unlike the Android browser, which requires no hacks at all. Strange, you didn't seem to give a link to the .deb for installing that browser...

I was implying that a out-of-the-box Maemo OS can't do that, while a out-of-the-box Android can. Never realized that opening the Android box is a hack!

I just tried out a nightly build of Fennec from: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/
and it actually was usable than when I tried the whatever build that came out a few months ago.
Startup didn't take 30+ secs and I was able to browse websites this time. It still has issues with the virtual keyboard and it crashed my tablet least once, but least I could "preview" it this time.

Also, don't forget some people run 3rd party kernels with patches such as SDHC patch. This might influence performance as well.
NEWS: I just saw on this URL http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/ fennec_1.0a2pre_armel.deb so this means 1.0 alpha pre 2 is released! Gonna try it out... *aum obama mea culta*
Edit: My experience thus far is no crashes yet. Still slow for me, but also stable.

Android has some more features, such as kinetic scrolling and a "pane" mode, and much better Zoom in-out (like, it can actually go more than 80% out). But, this latest SSU has really made maemo and MicroB better! Video will be up as promised.
