stop living in the 90s man. next thing you'll be telling us that we don't have the necessary keyboard drivers.

weird. I've searched for other reviews of the Hero, and some didn't mention any lag at all.

this reviewer for instance (4th hit on google) also mentioned that his device ran without lag pretty much the whole time:

It's all in the implementation, just because 3d flash games are slow, that doesn't mean that games written in javascript have to be. Javascript is just a language, and its the exposed APIs that can make writing 3d accelerated games possible. Such work has already been done before (take a look at seed and its clutter bindings), so it should be quite possible to do something similar for the Pre.

that's almost as bizarre as the carrier pigeon system for delivering ip packets, described here:

@trevor: you double click them and choose where to extract. what's so hard about that?
