Last week Mozilla org launched an alpha version of it’s mobile browser Fennec Norwegian paper digi.no writes.
Fennec ‘s goal is in first hand to support Windows Mobile and Linux devices.
“We have the stated goal of supporting Windows Mobile and Linux devices. Support for other Platforms may be added in the future.” - Fennec Wiki
The video shows a walkthrough of the alpha 1 release for Windows Mobile, running on an HTC Touch Pro. I really liked the “off-screen” controls and tabs and looking forward to trying it, but for now you need a Nokia N810 Internet Tablet with OS2008 to run it.
Developers that want to get involved writing add-ons, provide feedback etc. can install a pc version. Install and download instruction for both N810 and PC’s are her.
Im looking forward to seeing a release out for windows mobile.
