Mozilla’s release of the Firefox for Mobile alpha code, code-named Fennec, grants that wish to users of the Nokia N810 and N800 Internet tablet. Code-named Fennec, the browser uses the same technology as the desktop version, including its HTML rendering engine called Gekko. Mozilla said it wants to ensure that the mobile version is not inferior to the version that people use on their home computers.
The company also is working on a browser for Windows Mobile that could be available later this year. Mozilla did not specifically address Symbian, and Mark Finkle, platform evangelist for Mozilla, wrote that there are no current plans to port it to BlackBerry.
The Firefox mobile browser will not be coming to the iPhone because Apple does not let developers put browsers in its App Store. Additionally, Mozilla said it isn’t working on a version for Android handsets.
A beta version of Firefox Mobile is expected to be released before the end of the year, and a public version is expected in 2009. The mobile Firefox will find itself in a crowded field when it comes out, as it will be competing with on-deck browsers like Apple’s mobile Safari, as well as third-party browsers like Opera Mobile and Skyfire.
