Mozilla For Windows Mobile Confirmed
Posted by Doug Smith on 11/26/07 in Pocket PC Phones, PocketPC, Windows Mobile 6
We heard about this a month or so ago, but the fat lady has sung and Mozilla is confirmed for Windows Mobile Devices! Christian Sejersen over at Mozilla confirmed on his blog that Windows Mobile is a target for development that will get FireFox first. (Pause for a Balki Bartokomous “Dance of joy”!)
Goals
It has been about a month since I started at Mozilla and worked on Mobile. We have now reached the point where we have specific goals for Mobile (they are also on the Mobile wiki). The overall goals for Mobile are:
- provide Mozilla’s standards-based open-source browser engine, optimized for mobile, that can be embedded by device manufacturers and others;
- a full-featured mobile browser including support for XUL-based add-ons, delivering on Firefox’s key principles of ease-of-use, security and accessibility;
- grow the Mozilla community in the mobile space;
- provide tools and documentation to help developers develop, debug and deploy web applications;
- do all of this work in the shared Mozilla source repositories so all platforms, desktop and mobile benefit each other
