Firefox poised with mobile browser

Medium
Interesting review on VNU about Firefox's mobile browser , Fennec , which is currently still in beta version and is limited to testing on Nokia N810 .

Firefox has made huge inroads into Explorer's market share on so called desktop browsers and is well poised to have  a prominent position on MID's .

Its probably worth flagging up that the mobile internet isn't simply a smaller version of whats already available on mainstream computers , it is pretty much a different medium altogether , in terms of device ,  content and accessibility.

One thing that means is that although it is a hugely evolving market and no-one seems quite sure where it will go , no-one has  a built in advantage to overcome , its all up for grabs -  given how crucial it is to be able to load quickly and see clearly on an MID , how quickly good browsers are developed will be key to the future development of the mobile net.
