Mozilla Firefox Mobile review

I've been using the Windows Mobile version for about a year, but it is a complete mess.

It was only after about 8 months of testing that it would even start - and I was using the "reference" hardware.

Even when it got as far as loading the "home" screen, it was incredibly slow.

On the Windows Mobile platform, the devs seemed to spend more time moaning about only being able to use 128MB RAM for the process, rather than trying to optimise their code, at least at the beginning.

It *is* better than the IE built into Windows Mobile, but it is still a long way behind Opera in terms of performance and usability.

It sounds like the Nokia team have done a better job. I hope the WM team can take a page out of the Nokia team's book...

Chrome on Android

do you know if there are any announced plans for Google to provide a Chrome browser for Android mobiles?

@big_D:
128MB RAM? Can't see what the devs are moaning about, I remember having a computer where that was all that was available for everything :-)

Continuous process

@Jonathan Bray: "...a work in progress rather than a finished product."

Which piece of software do you know of that's a finished product?
