I had the unfortunate experience of using a Dialup again while visiting family recently. I'm sure the app is neat and all, but general purpose web browsing on a GPRS connection has gotta be horrendous. Even the downsampled stuff on my SideKick takes forever (it goes through the Danger proxy servers and all the images are shrunk and the HTML is stripped down on their end).

I intend to include things like display of the most recent radar image, but I'll be doing that inside my own custom software.
