14 DAY TRIAL // Mozilla announced not too long ago that it was making steady progress with the development of their Firefox for Mobile browser meant for devices powered by Google's Android operating system, and now they gave a few more hints as how the solution would look like when available. There are two photos with Firefox Mobile for Android available for your viewing pleasure, one showing the solution on the Nexus One by HTC, while the other shows it running on Motorola's DROID, both of which are shown on Mozilla's Facebook page.
For the time being, all that Mozilla shares with users is that they are working on the development of the mobile browser and that the solution is set to land on the market sometime before the end of the ongoing year, but there are no builds released for those willing to give it a try. We already learned that the Android flavor of the browser had reached the stage at which is can display pages, but an alpha version will arrive at a later date, it seems.
According to the developing team, the Firefox Mobile browser for devices running under Google's Android operating system will come around with the same user interface as the one available with the desktop version of the application, due to the fact that it was “significantly more complex than the mobile UI and stresses Gecko much more.” In other words, Android users out there should enjoy the same experience on their handsets as on their desktop computers, through they'll still have to wait a few more months before they can do so.
Android is only one of the mobile platforms Mozilla announced it planned on working with. The company already released a final flavor of its mobile browser for handsets powered by Nokia's Maemo operating system, and Nokia N900 owners can already download the solution from the Ovi Store, and there is also an alpha version of the browser available for those who own a Windows Mobile-based device. This browser flavor is compatible with the older Windows Mobile 6.x from Microsoft, yet Mozilla said that they were considering the development of a Windows Phone 7 Series compatible solution too.
