What makes you think they don't already have that problem? Last time I was in Panera I saw someone sitting there typing on an external keyboard with his laptop hooked up to a 15" monitor!

He was there when we got there, and was still typing away when we left, half an hour later. He didn't have any food near him; he couldn't because his setup took up too much space.

I can't believe how shameless people can be in abusing a system other people put up in good faith.

Here is a decent comparison of mobile phone broswers. But the conclusion they reach is basically that everything out there has some critical issues. It's understandable considering the problems: constrained inputs (and different means of input depending on the device), trying to render pages designed for 19" monitors at 800x600 resolution on 4" screens at 320x320 resolution on hardware and operating systems that are primitive by modern standards.

Things will get better of course (anything is better than Mobile IE), but in the meantime, it means the Web in your pocket isn't quite the same as it is at your desk.

(KOTOR 2 Spoilers)

The big unresolved plot point in KOTOR 2 was the looming menace of a Sith army outside of known space that the main character of the first KOTOR game went out to stop. It could be that this is the Sith Empire in the new MMO. (End spoilers)

It probably is intentional to set this after the main characters of the previous games are dead, if only to make it feel like the players, and not the characters from previous games, are the heroes, and to stay away from the bits in Galaxies where you just felt like a tourist.
