Been following this project for awhile: http://www.nidium.com/ . Hopefully they launch soon cause I am curious to try it out.

I found these two bullet points truly odd "Yes, it's a kind of browser, and you can browse online webapps ... We do not support HTML & CSS".

You don't need to throw HTML and CSS out wholesale (it still has uses) and you don't need to implement an entire browser to get many of the features listed on that page (except maybe the audio stuff).

At famo.us [0], we're doing a lot of the things they say their final product will have but within the context of any modern web browser.
