As you said this is only within the same page which means that you can only
have so much fun before it becomes lame trying to do everything on one
page -- and it means that the user HAS to have that page open all the time,
which again is not really a useable solution since the browser -- atm --
requires you to have your "connection" open.
I dont think that the devices support caching either, apart from
auto-filling of forms based on the name (I know Nokia tend to do that...) so
not having your "browser" open means killing everything you had stored
(maybe one COULD use the form auto-fill capability for that but I doubt
it...).

Well it would allow one to store or add stuff to the device without use of
cookies.
