Firefox goes Mobile all the way

Mozilla Firefox. Now, I don't really know what that name means to you, but to me, it means something very important: freedom. I remember discovering Firefox back in 2004, freeing me from the claws of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and giving me the choice of using a browser I liked as well as delivering an awesome experience in my old PIII clocked at 600Mhz. Before Firefox, my favorite browser was Netscape, maybe because of its looks, or maybe not, but the fact is, it was the biggest competitor to Microsoft's Internet browser back in the day. Fast forward to the present day, and the browser wars is currently being held between four major competitors: Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Apple's Safari, Google's Chrome and Mozilla's Firefox. But, the browser wars is actually old news, isn't it? We're here for the mobile browser wars.

Android and the “F-word”

This has been a debate ever since last fall, when Android 1.6 (codenamed "Donut") started hitting devices like the G1/Dream and the MyTouch 3G/Magic while other devices like the Hero or Moment were left behind with Android 1.5. Since then, this situation has been commonly described as "Android fragmentation". Now, we don't know who used this word for the first time, but we do know who's trying to use it for the last time: Google. It all began at last month's Google I/O, when Google gave their view (for the first time) on this matter, and now, it's time for some reflection.
