Firefox mobile - the concept and what it could be

Posted on June 13th 2008 in Video of the Week, Mobile Technologies

Firefox is treading into mobile browser territory, and it was about time. Although the concept (Mobile/FennecVision) of porting Firefox to the mobile platform is not that new, this is the first time I’ve seen an actual concept presented to the public. Aza Rask, head of user experience at Mozilla Labs, has posted a screencast on his blog, discussing the new concept of Firefox mobile. The actual product, once delivered to the public may end up looking quite different than this, but it shows some very interesting solutions to providing a near desktop/laptop browsing experience on a mobile phone.

Looks very interesting and promising, with some nice features as well. While Opera does a good job with Opera Mini and Opera Mobile, and Digia (which announced a beta download of their latest mobile web browser during June 2008), it’s good to have another option for mobile web browsing.
