But too much is too much, and AT&T’s new browser, Pogo seems to suffer from the vast amount of resources demanded by its attempt to make the most mundane Web tasks (finding a bookmark, for instance) a breath-taking overdose of eye-catching beauty. Here’s Ars Technica’s review of Pogo.

It’s an interesting concept, and I don’t want to go back to the days when a copy of Netscape Navigator 1.22 fit on a single floppy disc, but Pogo seems way too far ahead of its time in terms of realistic user resources. And just when you thought 2 gigs of RAM was enough… Pogo!
