You may remember the Alpha 2 release of Fennec, well, the folks involved with Firefox Mobile have updated their Wiki with news of a milestone release in the first week of February. So, we have to ask, are you an HTC Touch Pro user? If not this release really isn't for you, as the platform of choice for this release is rather narrow: one set. Of course if you don't have a Touch Pro, you can always hope somebody comes along and tweaks this release to broaden its install base. We'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this as it unfolds, but feel free to wander the read link to see the things they covered in the meeting yesterday -- like installers, bug fixing, CAB creation, and such.

Considering Skyfire sucks on a VGA screen and Opera is kind of slow, even when I'm running on 3G or WiFi, I'm looking forward to seeing a healthy balance with Fennec. :)

Agreed on all counts. Have you tried Netfront 3.5? It has it's own share of problems and is only available on a month-by-month trial basis, but sites render beautifully on VGA screens and is fairly snappy. I've almost switched over to using it exclusively.

i loved the Iris Browser but i had to stop using it because every time i leave the app on my Treo, the program locks up and wont resume and i cant stop the task. i literally have to take the battery out to get the program to work again. ive been using Opera Mobile now and i like it alot. i liked the webKit based browser though because of all the iPhone format websites i can use so easily with it.
