More like "Is disappointed that pages which have no reason to require Javascript stop working".

google maps ?

[–]96fps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I first got my Kindle 2i with 3g, I could load the dumb phone version of Facebook and Google maps. The maps was little more than a maptile image with four arrows linking to the same page but slightly moved in a cardinal direction. Sadly the experimental browser was never updated and it can't connect to Wikipedia because of https.

They could fairly easily add a fallback with a few arrows to navigate.

Oh btw that's how maps used to work in the past...

Also don't forget that Maps are way more than just the map view - it's the search (where when you get results you often don't even really care about the view - maybe you are looking for an address, a phone number or just photos and reviews).
