 The help text in Orbot for non-rooted systems suggests using approved
 applications.  One such app is Firefox + the Proxy plugin.  I am running
 on an ASUS Transformer Honeycomb 3.2 and having used the PDA tablet app,
 knew there was a way to set up a proxy port forward in the OS itself.

 A Moto XOOM forum post pointed me to an app called "AnyCut" which lets you
 make a desktop widget for almost any system component or app.  One of the
 components is "Proxy Settings".  Thus:

 1.  Run Orbot
 2.  Run "Proxy Settings".  Fill in the form to point to 127.0.0.1:8118
 3.  Stock web browser will automatically use this proxy.

 Interested in helping with research on this.
