FireFox Mobile: Alpha for Windows Mobile 6
Fennec: FireFox Mobile
The mobile variant of Mozilla’s Firefox browser for a while now. There were also beta versions that ran on certain Nokia Internet Tablets but, at last, it’s available for Windows users to test. As of last Friday, Fennec (as it’s been code-named), was made available for we sticky fingered gadget fans.
Fennec Alpha 1 for Windows Mobile 6 has been custom built to run on the HTC Touch Pro, with Mozilla rolling out the browser to more handsets in future.
The UI looks pretty much identical to that on the Maemo enabled Nokia tablets - the Awesome Bar search field is front and center, which serves up suggested search terms in addition to showing off your search history. Navigating the interface is simple - all you have to do is flick the screen - with bookmarking tools on the left hand side and tabbed browsing icons on the right.
One interesting aspect is the underlying code - it’s CSS, which allows the application to be easily adjusted dependent on screen size and resolution.
Fennec is still in its infancy so don’t expect perfection just yet. Here’s the download link for the Fennec CAB file.
