First beta of Firefox for Android coming in February 2010 ?

,----[ Quote ]
| The German Mozilla Community Website camp-
| firefox.de reported that a first beta 
| version of Firefox for Android (Fennec) 
| would be coming out in February 2010. 
| Apparently most of the work has been done 
| and the application was started sucessfully 
| on an Android phone, even though surfing 
| was not possible yet.

Rogers Canada forces Android update that takes away root access

,----[ Quote ]
| Rogers, Canada's only carrier with Android 
| handsets, has cut off data to customers 
| until they run a mandatory firmware update. 
| Nominally, this fixes a 911 bug: but it 
| also prevents you from jailbreaking your 
| phone and activating features and 
| applications Rogers doesn't like (even if 
| you paid full price for your phone).

| However, Symbian hasnât made inroads into

Android will soon trail only Symbian, says IDC

,----[ Quote ]
| The firm did not list figures for other
| OSes, but noted that Android will benefit
| from "having a growing footprint of handset
| vendors supporting it." As for Symbian, it
| will continue to stay strong due to Nokia's
| strength outside the U.S., says IDC, which
| made no mention of the impact of Symbian's
| transition to open source.
