Mozilla Releases Fennec Beta 1
Print
Mozilla’s beta for Fennec (also known as Firefox Mobile) went into its early beta stages just this week.
Currently Fennec supports only the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet (running OS2008), as well as Windows, Mac OS X (so long as you have an Intel processor) and Linux. Sadly, it doesn’t appear as if there are any versions for the iPhone and Blackberry users of the world just yet.
According to Fennec’s release notes, “The initial focus of Fennec development was on building a new user experience that reflects Firefox's design principles, adding touch screen support and other interactions appropriate for mobile phones and other handheld devices, while preserving leading features like the Smart URL Bar (‘awesome bar’) and support for add-ons.”

The Mozilla Foundation really needs to get their collective ass in gear and innovate.

Currently Fennec supports only the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet (running
OS2008), as well as Windows, Mac OS X (so long as you have an Intel
processor) and Linux.And what does that supposed to mean?
It's running on only one "phone" and on desktop windows/linux? and they call it "MOBILE"?
Also they call it's stage as "beta"?
it doesn't even sound like pre-pre-alpha, is more like pre-zero..
Ridiculous.

Intel only for now? Well, it might as well stay that way as far as I'm concerned. I lost all respect for firefox for that so I'll stick with the tried and true Opera 9.5 till IE 8 comes about.

LOL, I was talking about IE 8 mobile! Firefox fennec is supposed to be mobile only as well, but I guess they are testing it on regular desktops.
