Tough luck ;) The memory requirements for Gecko or KHTML are way beyond
what the poor Newton has to offer (about 2.7MB free RAM). Just looking
at the Mozilla or Safari memory footprint on a desktop gives a good
indication what to expect. You could probably port the code, but as
soon as some non-trivial pages would have to be parsed, you will run
out of memory.
