It’s been said that FireFox Mobile is due in late 2008. A great surprise, because the Minimo browser really got whooped by Opera Mini and its innovations, even on smaller mobile devices, such as older mobile phones. Besides, I hate Minimo.
The UI design mock-up already exists, for touch-screens. Now this looks like old news, but you have probably noticed that since October 2007 not much has happened: there is a chance for FireFox to win Opera Mini users over to its side. The community will enable you to customize the browser, and we’ll be seeing some speed tweaks, hopefully.
I’m just saying: if Deepfish goes cellular, we’re in for a war. Did you know that Nokia’s S60 browser, which is described by users as whoop-ass, is also open source?
Last but not least, I would like to thank God for not having a war between a crappy browser with 90% percent of market share, but rather between very good browsers, all with their own pros and cons.
Let me introduce you to the greatest clone ever. The Everex Cloudbook, while totally ripping off Asus’ idea, is on the other side cursed by the Hackintosh curse. Even the bloody Everex site seems to have an Apple font on the front which doesn’t work on my Debian box. Come on!
Back to basics: The Cloud(hm…Mac)Book is supposed to have more power than the poor old Asus Eee. I don’t know why it runs so slow. Is it the operating system? Because according to this review and another one at Youtube, it needs at least two minutes to boot! The Eee team has done a far better job at tweaking their laptop. I never saw Ubuntu (gOS is a modified Ubuntu Linux OS) run so slow. Maybe because of all the Apple tweaks (you can see an Awn-like Dock in the video, not sure if it’s the default desktop, but looks like it is.). I still don’t know why they used Ubuntu. And where’s the purpose in putting a Meebo or Wikipedia icon on the desktop and NOT running it in FireFox, but a retarded browser(according to teh Linux Action Show)? It’s as if I stored my favorites on my Desktop. No wait, that’s better.
Any thoughts on this, guys?
