Fennec future tied to Android and LiMo
,----[ Quote ]
| The fate of Fennec Fox, the code-name for Mozilla’s mobile browser, is tied
| closely to that of the Android and LiMo phones now under development.
|
| [...]
|
| The LiMo and Android phones, like the iPhone, are due to be mobile Internet
| clients, not really phones at all. They need wide pipes, not the skinny pipes
| mobile carriers now allow for selling discrete bits of data like ringtones,
| wallpapers and SMS.

Mozilla previews Firefox Mobile
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla Labs has posted a video preview, source code, and an online demo of
| its forthcoming mobile web browser. Code-named "Fennec" for now, Firefox
| Mobile features an innovative full-screen, finger-friendly interface with
| iPhone-like "kinetic" scrolling, and a Mac-like "expose" feature for tabs.
|
| [...]
|
| In addition to the above video preview, Mozilla Labs has released source code
| for the demo, plus a simulation that runs -- with many rough edges -- within
| a desktop version of Firefox. The concept may also be developed into a
| Firefox extension, Raskin adds.

Firefox Goes Mobile
,----[ Quote ]
| There's no doubt that it's getting easier to access the Web on a mobile
| device. Thanks to the iPhone and Apple's Web browser, Safari, millions of
| people feel as though they finally have the Internet in their pocket. But
| there's still a lot of work that needs to be done in order to allow for the
| kind of innovation on the mobile Web that is possible on the traditional Web,
| says Mitchell Baker, chairman of Mozilla, maker of the Firefox browser.

Mozilla's Chairman Confirms Progress on a New Mobile Browser
,----[ Quote ]
| At the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco today, Mozilla Chairman Mitchell
| Baker gave an address on opening the mobile web, which Webware did a nice job
| of analyzing. Many people have been wondering if Mozilla will deliver a
| version of the Firefox browser to work with the many Linux-based phones
| currently in the works, including phones based on Google's Android platform.
|
| [...]
|
| As I covered in a recent post on whether Linux can quickly grab a significant
| part of the mobile phone market, there are some good indications that it may.
| At the recent Mobile World Congress conference, there were more than 20 new
| mobile phones based on Linux announced, most of them using the LiMo platform.

First Look at Minimo
,----[ Quote ]
| I was very impressed with minimo. Actually, using minimo showed me
| that mobile net access might just work. Everyone has been predicting
| the mobile revolution but I never thought it would happen simply
| because the screen are too small and the interfaces cramped. Somehow,
| minimo sidesteps all these and it made a convert out of me.
