Mozilla to develop mobile browser, finally!

Mobile internet users rejoice, Mozilla plans on creating an internet browser for mobile devices to compete with the likes of Opera Mini / Mobile. Check the full interview between Mitchell Baker and APC’s Dan Warne for more info [via].

Oh well all of them are difficult to shoehorn onto a mobile device, so we should be clear about that. Opera has done a pretty good job of getting something useful on to a mobile device, but it’s not a full fledged and doesn’t have the capabilities of Firefox.

As much as I can agree with others that Opera does a fantastic job of minimizing the headache of mobile internet browsing – compressing standard non-mobile-friendly pages into a more digestible format – I just can’t shout and scream with joy when I use it on my mobile handsets. The thing is a memory hog. What are you browsing with on your phone?

    I’ve been using Opera Mini for the past 6-8 months and have been loving it more and more. Bookmarks, history, cookies, downloads, the compression, it’s just the best software around.

    – That until Mozilla comes :)

    I chose NetFront over Opera Mini
    But I’d like to see Mozilla’s approach.
