Mozilla Mobile Community

In all likelihood, most have read this terrific post by Schrep re: Mozilla’s Mobile strategy. I have the fortune of working close to Doug Turner and Chris Hofmann’s office, and on a few random projects with chofmann. To give you an idea of how long and hard they have worked on Mozilla mobile stuff, I thought I would take a picture of the device below that was sitting on Chofmann’s desk. This is one of the early devices that they used to test Minimo… I love the detachable keyboard! I think it is an iPaq from 1983 or something. Was it Crocket or Tubbs who used this device one time in an episode of Miami Vice.

Anyway, congrats on all the hard work that Doug and Chris have put into the mobile work. And, welcome to the new members of the Mozilla community who will be helping to lead our mobile strategy: Christian Sejersen and Brad Lassey. In his post, Schrep calls for people interested in contributing to our mobile strategy to ping him directly. Please do it. He means it and it will be an exciting project to work on.
