I was briefly happy to read about the release of… Fennec 1.0 Beta 1 (Firefox for mobile devices). Why only briefly? This release only for the Maemo platform (Nokia Internet Tablet series) which I don’t use. Oh well. Nice to see progress made on any platform.

This is a rebuttal to my MobileDevicesToday.com blogging partner’s comment that Nokia and Windows Mobile does not have flagship products. Nokia has both current & future flagship phones. Their current flagship phone is the N96 although I’ve noted Nokia product experts (I don’t consider myself one of those) sometimes note they prefer the older N95. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
