TechCrunch:<\/a><\/p>\n

Get ready to throw out that WAP browser on your mobile phone (if you haven’t already). The iPhone, with its fully-functioning Safari browser, showed us that mobile browsing need not be a compromise. Now, the folks at Mozilla are working on a mobile version of Firefox.<\/p>\n

A Firefox Web browser already exists for the Nokia N800, but this effort will expand Firefox’s mobile reach to many more handsets, especially as they come standard with more memory. (64 MB of DRAM seems to be the minimum that will be required). Mobile Firefox won’t be available until next year, at the earliest. But just as on the desktop, it will be an open platform on top of which anyone can build add-on applications. And that’s good news for mobile computing.<\/p>\n

The decision to throw Firefox into the mobile ring is just one more piece of evidence for something that is becoming increasingly clear: The phone is the computer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve never understood the appeal of Firefox for the Macintosh. I don’t use a lot of plug-ins, in any case, but the user interface feels kludgey and Windows-like to me. Even so, I love this turn of events, particularly if developers continue to have problems delivering pages to Safari. In the long run, I want to control my world from my phone. (In the long-long-run, I want my phone to be mounted at the occipital bone in my skull, with the display hanging in virtual space about nine inches in front of my eyes.) Having robust browser power on smartphones is one more step in my direction.
