What about Opera? The first android phone to be commerically available is about to hit the market (T-Mobile G1), and Opera already has an Android-ready Opera Mini for it.

All in all, if I’d have to settle for a cross-platform browser, it’d be Opera, not Firefox, even if I wasn’t a longt-time Opera user. It simply rocks, and has no competition in terms of usability, standards compliance and security.

Chrome is feature-poor. Opera allows me to not just run google web apps, but also manage mail, bookmarks, settings, feeds etc. coherently across different devices (desktop, phone, laptop etc.). IMO, any other browser has a long way to go before it can brag with a similarly pleasant user experience.

@phandroid – Yes, it is exciting to think about Mobile Firefox. But the headline is where Andrex and I take issue. There is nothing to indicate Android is getting Firefox or thinking about it. Further, Apple could beat them to the punch. It’s hard to say at this point. Overall, a good site that I like to keep up on, but be careful with not trying to get too many page views from headlines.

Wikipedia writes Aza Raskin as the son of late Jef Raskin. Just a note.

The embedded video itself is reason enough for excitement. Had I posted that alone, with no commentary, I think it STILL would have been an interesting read… errr… look. The first Firefox Mobile browser… if you don’t think that’s a big deal you’re only kidding yourself.

Article is all about nothing really. Headline is sensationalism, trying to make us believe it’s coming for Android. It’s not lined up for either…yet.

“So that’s why [Fennec will not run on Android]. However, in both cases, things may change in future, but it does not depend on Mozilla.”

Come back and tackle this when there is news to report.

“Since the mobile web world is so young, it’d be difficult to say any one browser is the ‘default’ or ‘favorite’. But, it looks like Firefox is on track to reach that status.”

Interesting you’d say this when it’s not coming to either of the next big mobile OSes. In fact the entire title is misleading. To me, this article only says that Webkit is going to become the mobile standard browser.
