Yeah, my transformer is Tegra2 based and pretty quick with the rendering. Tegra3 is right around the corner. Whats the use of this,really? Save 4 dollars per unit on a cheaper cpu and a little battery, but paying for it by pounding EC2 servers? Heck, we're in the age of 4G and wifi. Slow 3G might be par for the course in the iPhone world, but not elsewhere.

Danger, Opera, and Blackberry have all done this with lackluster results. Mobile Chrome has the chops to handle the modern web. This kind of pre-rendered solution might have been a good idea 4 or 5 years ago, but now its questionable and brings up issues of privacy, vendor lock in, EC2 issues (hi, my website was down for 48 hours a couple of months ago), EC2 load issues, etc.
