Mozilla to soon release its mobile browser

BANGALORE, INDIA: Smartphone definitely is one thing that will rule 2010, with more and more companies taking huge interests. After Google's reports on launching its phone Nexus One by Jan 5, now its Mozilla's turn, by planning to launch Fennec, its Firefox browser for mobile phones soon.

This launch will get the company in competition with rivals like Opera Mini, Safari, Chrome, Nokia, Netfront and Internet Explorer.

BBC quoted a Mozilla executive saying that the browser would allow synchronization with the desktop version.

“Mozilla is also developing versions for Microsoft's Windows mobile and Google's Android operating system but will take some time for iPhone users as Apple is very restrictive. It doesn't allow other browsers,” the executive added

The browser will be available to download from the Mozilla website and then offered in Nokia's Ovi store by next year.
