Agreed. It is unfortunate that we missed an opportunity to underline our 
commitment to a low memory footprint and increased performance, though. 
Especially since, aside from that, there weren't any major changes. It 
would have married well with our relationship with mobile device 
producers and the OLPC project too.

Cheers,
