Looks nice.

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.

Could IE8 incompatibilities be a boon for Firefox?

,----[ Quote ]
| It also creates a "get ready" call to rival browsers, and particularly 
| Mozilla's Firefox, to capitalize on Microsoft's incompatibility with
itself...

Opera's new release is mentioned in some sites that are about Linux (the
semi-Free kernel), not the GPL. It ought to be clearer that Opera is
proprietary; and it's not helpful to some.

Firefox Download Day Set

| Mark June 17th on your calendars Firefox and open source fans. That’s the day
| when the Mozilla Corp. is going to release Firefox 3 and try to set a new
| world record for downloads of a single product in one day.

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.
