Fennec Bumped Up to Version 4.0 In Name Only to Make Way for Eventual Branding Change
You may have noticed that Mozilla’s Fennec browser for Android phones saw a sudden jump from version 2.x to 4.0. Don’t get too excited, the Mozilla team hasn’t released a huge update to the mobile browser using the same engine as Firefox. No, they made the change to better represent the relation between both their desktop and mobile products. Firefox is currently at version 4.0, and once Fennec is out of nightly builds and at a stable release it too will earn the same name as its desktop equivalent.
Mozilla Firefox 4 for Android and Nokia N900 will be the eventual branding change brought about to create a better link between the two products and eliminate certain marketing headaches.
