Minimo web browser unlocked on the iLiad eBook reader

Minimo iLiadWhile it might not be quite as exciting as Firefox for mobile phones, MobileRead forum member Adam B has enabled web browsing on the iLiad eBook reader.

It turns out the iLiad ships with a stripped down version of the Minimo web browser for reading HTML files. Out of the box, you can't browse the web with this version of Minimo. But Adam B has released an update that effectively unlocks Minimo on the black and white device.

Minimo is not an official Mozilla project, but the mobile web browser is based on Mozilla code and hosted on Mozilla.org. Now that Mozilla has announced plans to develop a mobile version of Firefox, we suspect there won't be much more development in the Minimo space.
