This is pretty awesome, but it seems like more of a proof of concept than a useful browser.

Don't get me wrong- I often use text-based browsers such as elinks and they work just fine for me.

However, contiki is even more limited in what pages it can visit. A "contiki compatible" page is not a common thing. It it is probably possible to create a more focused browser rather than complete os that would has better compatibility with most websites.

Now that would be really impressive.

I had a friend who checked his email on campus with an Apple ][e using the serial port tied into his linux box. I'm sure you could do the same to surf the web without a modem or NIC. Seeing that was just too cool. You have to think that Apple would never had thought that the ][ would ever be used for such things.
