Poll: Are you interested in Mozilla’s Android-based OS?

Fennec Alpha available for Android (and Nokia N900)

Fennec Alpha available for Android (and Nokia N900) I have been waiting to test Firefox mobile - pre-release title is Fennec - on an Android device for a long, long time.

If this is the first you're hearing of it, check it out. It's basically Firefox mobile, and it's got all kinds of cool features. I've been waiting and waiting for word on an Android release, and it looks like we... Read more »

Fennec Android launch draws near…er

Fennec Android launch draws near…er I'm going to mention my source at the beginning of this post rather than at the end, as I usually do, because I'm straight up snagging his layout by wraping my text around that image to the left. So, thank you, Frederic Lardinois from ReadWriteWeb. Mozilla enthusiasts, Firefox fanatics, and PhoneDog fans already know what that cute and fuzzy - yet vicious - icon... Read more »
