Firefox Mobile Alpha Version Coming to Nokia N810 Tablet Next Week

By John Mahoney on October 11, 2008 at 1:30 AM

Fans of Nokia’s open-source internet tablets will be the first to take Firefox Mobile for a spin, reports PC Advisor, with an alpha release coming as early as next week (confirming what we saw earlier this week). The choice of the Linux-based N810 makes sense for the first dry run, as its hardware and open development platform already easily supports other Mozilla spin-offs, and the touchscreen will allow for fine tuning of FFM’s touch-based interface for smartphones. The alpha will apparently feature Firefox 3’s smart URL bar and support for add-ons. A more widespread beta is expected for 2009. [PC Advisor via CrunchGear]
