1 Browser and WLAN for Meego 1.2 N900 Developer Edition

Browser and WLAN for Meego 1.2 N900 Developer Edition

The team contributes to making Intenet browsing experience great on N900 MeeGo 1.2 Developer Edition.

Target is to utilize existing Fennec port to meego in Developer Edition and we will collaborate with the existing team. However, if it looks like that Fennec does not meet performance requirements, we will consider having also an alternative browser in Developer Edition.
