Seeing as penguinbait's links are dead (cough), i took a stab at compiling my own version of links2.
This version has javascript, graphics and mouse (for stylus tapping on links). It's fairly compact at 3.4MB and very resource thrifty - 0% cpu while idling and never more than 51% loading a page, with at most 14% memory consumption (in testing so far).
I hate to reply to my own post, but this could be a decent alternative on -th- go if we had a decent vkbd that was hideable
I got xvkbd compiled but as yet have no way to minimize it .. i emailed the author - maybe he can add a window minimizer that will reduce it to a bar at the bottom.
