Sorry, my reply to this last night went straight to Luke, not the whole
list.  Here it is again:

Fair point: not everybody without a keyboard is without one by choice.
I guess I just can't personally conceive of ever *wanting* to routinely
write hundreds of words on a touchscreen phone.  Especially not with
URLs and syntax like => thrown in.  No matter how effortless the upload
process, the actual writing would be unbearable.

Now, *reading* content is a very different story, and not what I was
talking about with my comment about not targetting "crippled devices".
For users accessing the internet on phones with low memory/CPU resources
on slow and/or expensive networks, I think Gemini could be an extremely
appealing choice.
