We've known Mozilla had big plans for the mobile space for a while now. But we were a bit disappointed when Mozilla announced their first major Mobile offering back in August. Joey is basically just a web clipping service that lets you save web content using your desktop Firefox browser and access it from any old mobile browser. We were hoping to see a mobile version of Firefox.Well, sometimes dreams do come true. Mozilla's Mike Schroepfer writes on his blog that work is underway to create a version of Firefox for mobile phones. There aren't a ton of details yet, but here's what we can tell you:
- Mozilla is adding mobile devices to the list of "first-class" development platforms
- Mobile Firefox will be able to run Firefox extensions on mobile devices and allow third party development via XUL
- Mozilla is expanding its team of mobile contributors
- Development on Joey will continue
- Don't expect further Minimo development
- Mobile Firefox will ship after Firefox 3
