Mozilla Mobile
2 November 2007There have been a couple of recent reviews of the Mozilla based browser for the Nokia N800 tablet and a review of the upcoming Nokia N810 tablet. Some highlights:
“The web browser in the Nokia N810 is incredibly fast, loading complete web pages in seconds.”
“With the new Mozilla based browser, dubbed “MicroB” and which you can find and install over here, GMail performance is improved, using Google Maps is finally possible, and you can switch between using the Opera and the Mozilla Gecko -the same one used by Firefox and SeaMonkey- engines using the appropriately named “Set Engine” option. GMail performance is improved as is loading Word documents with Google Docs.”
Congrats again to the Nokia team, Dougt, Chris H, and everyone involved in getting this going. Glad to see all the perf improvements in Gecko 1.9 (coming soon in Firefox 3) showing well on a device with just a 3-400 MHz processor. I can’t wait to see where we get as the new mobile team really starts cranking…

Can you tell me what exactly ZAP is, and if ZAP will have anything to do with Mozilla’s Mobile offering?
I’m curious to know if ZAP will be used for anything. Thank you.

Hi, is ZAP going to a part of Mozilla Mobile? I’m not sure I received an email from the previous post. Thank you.

ZAP…
This is what I mean about ZAP:

You are aware of ZAP…right? I would think?
I am wondering, what, if anything ZAP will ever be used for. I have been slightly following this project to see if anything ever comes to fruition with it…for a couple years now.
Is this just a science experiment, or is there ever going to be a project that comes from it?
Which is why I asked whether or not ZAP will somehow be incorporated into Mozilla Mobile Platform.
Thank you

Hi, I have a Palm LifeDrive and I access the Internet using either WiFi or my cell phone (bluetooth).
The existing browsers and e-mail programs are lame.
I would love to have Firefox (and Thunderbird, why not?) with full capabilities, such as YouTube, usability, etc.
