Mozilla Mobile Browser Readies for Launch?
Mozilla had previously targeted 2010 for release of its mobile browser. However, there more recently were rumors that it would come out much sooner. That would be a good thing for Firefox, given the competition:
- Safari/iPhone
- Skyfire
- Android/Chrome
- Opera/Opera Mini
- IE (eventually)
- RIM (eventually)
Over the weekend some screenshots of the new mobile Firefox browser emerged on a couple of blogs. They show the new browser in a Windows Mobile environment:
This suggests an early 2009 release (at least in beta). Firefox's direct competition here are Skyfire and Opera; iPhone users will be on Safari and Android users will similary use the Android webkit-based browser for those devices.
I'm curious to see what Microsoft will do given the delay of Windows Mobile 7. I argued previously that the company might consider buying Skyfire and just turning it into the next version of mobile IE, although Microsoft has already been experimenting with full HTML browsers.
