Hey, stop the presses!

Konqueror on opie/linux/ipaq *does* support stylesheets, and it uses the handheld stylesheet if there is one. This is great! Update: Alas, Konq does *not* know to use a handheld stylesheet -- it just uses stylesheets in order -- so if the handhelds stylesheet is listed second, Konq uses it -- regardless of the device.

Try my other site. Here's a konq screenshot [new window].

Oops. What it doesn't have is the brains to wrap lines of text at the width of the screen, rather than the width of the table. Dillo is smarter in that respect.

A problem with Konqueror and thttpd: I have a copy of Twelfth Night on my ipaq, in a file with a .txt extension. Dillo displayed it as a text file. Konqueror treats it as html -- ignoring carriage returns, so that the whole thing appears as one paragraph.

Boy does that suck.

Also, the opie text editor is one of these stupifaction devices that will only open files *it* thinks it should open. I couldn't edit /boot/params with it, for instance.

Meanwhile the opie terminal program wastes so much screen space that you only have nine lines visible when the handwriting recognition pane is visible. That's ok for entering a command, but isn't much good if you want to use an editor.

I also couldn't just comment out the line of text in nano, because it forced a carriage return into the middle of the line. And as far as I know, you can't rotate opie to landscape mode. (There is a command to get nano not to wrap lines, but I forget what it is.)
