Firefox Mobile Alpha coming in "a few weeks"
Mozilla CEO says the first Alpha version of Firefox Mobile will be available in a few weeks. That's pretty exciting. But I wouldn't read too much into it at the moment.
It's not clear exactly what devices or operating systems will be supported by the early Alpha. Pre-alpha releases of the browser, code-named Fennec, are already available. But at the moment, they only run on the Nokia N810 internet tablet. The N810 is a pretty cool little device, but it's not as ubiquitous as say, Windows Mobile or Symbian powered cellphones.
Mozilla does plan to make a Windows Mobile version of Firefox Mobile available. I just don't know whether we'll see that version in a few weeks when Fennec hits alpha.

That's just a particularly bad screenshot, it's designed so when your browsing there's nothing but the web page displayed.

My only problem is that so many browsers these days are trying to be an OS on top of the OS -- Opera 9.5 beta is a joy to use, but it takes like 30+ seconds to load. IE is ancient, slow to render, and looks like garbage, but I can press the button and be looking at a web page in about 5 seconds. That's insane. I'm worried that FF Mobile is going to be so bloated it won't be worth waiting for it to finish starting up...
