Marielle,

Browse should render things that you would expect a modern smart phone to
render. They have similar processors. Browse run's with Mozilla's Gecko
engine, so the experience is fairly consistent with other Internet browsers.
 Except possibly that tabbed browsing has been disabled.

That's perfectly fine. We could even give you an XO for a week or so.

I note that you've opened a github repository, but you've only got your
README file in there. When are you releasing the source of your app?

Just had a peek at some of the documentation. I don't know the extent to
which Sugar will play nicely with Adode Air. Installation should be fine
into Fedora, but Sugar/Browse may not be aware of it. I recommend that you
get things running in a test environment, such as Sugar on a Stick, to test
this aspect of things. Let me know if you would like a hand.

Regards, Tim.
