Sneak peak at Firefox Mobile for Windows Mobile
Talk about Firefox Mobile has been going on for the past several months and finally screen shots have been released for the application on the Mozilla blog.
Most of us have played around with Opera Mini, which is a fantastic piece of software. Apart from Opera Mini, there’s also Skyfire and Safari for mobile, which Firefox Mobile is going to have to compete against.
If you ask me, the scene is still wide open and I have little doubt that Firefox Mobile won’t move in and dominate nicely, the only shortfall being that it’s only for Windows Mobile.

In fact, Windows Mobile is the second targeted platform. Nokia’s Maemo platform (runs on the Nokia N810) is the first, and there have been several milestone releases of Fennec for that platform:

Like its big brother Firefox, Fennec is portable and will run wherever people invest the effor to make it work.

Interesting! I need to do some research on which mobiles are most popular and which OS’s are dominating the market, that would give us all a great idea on how these applications are all going to do in terms of numbers and usage.
I read a little about Fennec and was hoping to research a little more and be able to do a blog post about it soon :) Obviously in terms of more technical, etc.
