RE: Another browser: Rover

Interesting. This reminds me of Opera Mini's on-server pre-processing. According to Wikipedia: "A page is compressed, then delivered to the phone in a markup language called OBML (Opera Binary Markup Language)"[1]

In both cases, the "user agent" is split between the client system and the server, so I think they are both cases that UAAG2 should be able to handle.

Cheers,
Jan

FYI: Rover is a browser for iPad that appears to stream flash content that is executing on a server.   Geared toward education market.  Not clear if it has any AT compatibility.
