Seems like ATT is entering the browser market with Pogo. Here is the link to the Ars review (But bear in mind that this is just a beta). Now as I am pretty sure that most of you won't follow the link (who reads a browser review?), let me summarize.. It is a 3D browser and the screenshots are pretty cool. But here is the interesting part, system requirements :- a 1.6 GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, and a video card with at least 256MB of VRAM. Yes, you read correctly, you will need a video card. Man.. many 3D games run fine below that config. The reviewers got it running on an Opteron 256 with two 3GHz CPUs, 4GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA 8800 GT video card with 512MB of VRAM, but it brought it to a crawl with just 3 tabs open. And interestingly enough, it is based on Gecko, the same rendering engine that Firefox uses. So if anybody here has a spare cluster, I would sure like to give it a try :-)
