Firefox to come out of the Computer


Yeah, thats correct! Crunchgear reports that the first ever "non PC" (as in not for a desktop computer or a laptop) version of Firefox is set to make its debut on the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet. And thats happening as soon as next week!

If thats not all, a Windows Mobile version too is expected in the not too distant future. Btw, let me just clarify that these are not final releases of the browser -- but just the alpha test version for the developer community.




Prima facie, it seems Mozilla wants to check out the touchscreen interface and plug in development on the Nokia Internet tablet owing to a very active developer community. The beta version of Forefox Mobole is expected to be out in early 2009. And yes, this one uses the same Gecko rendering engine that Firefox uses with full JavaScript and AJAX support.

Great news!

Give us the Opera Mini killer now. If thats possible!
