Speaking to the San Jose Mercury News, Mozilla CEO John Lilly recently commented:
“We want to make sure that the Web on mobile is more like the Web than what the mobile industry offers today, which is closed, separate networks and not a very good information-getting experience for the user. The first thing is to bring Firefox to mobile devices. We’re working on that, and we’ll see some alphas in a few weeks.”
Did you get that? We are going to be seeing the very first build of Firefox mobile within the next few weeks. Exciting stuff, though it would be nice to know which operating systems will get the browser first.
Firefox is probably one of the biggest sleeping giants of the mobile industry, and with Apple’s Safari browser making waves, Nokia launching its first touchscreen device with full touchscreen browser and Google looking to launch an Android version of Chrome, Mozilla’s entry into the mobile browser realm could firmly put the cat amongst the pigeons.
More on this as soon as we have it folks.
