Barely 2 days ago, Mobile firefox released Fennec in its first beta version. Now, mobile devices can have the web browsing experience through Firefox mobile. As it is still in beta version, currently it is only available for users of Nokia N810 Internet Tablet. However, other mobile users can also experiment with Fennec. The Beta versions of Fennec is available for download for Windows, Mac and Linux desktop PCs. Firefox welcomes any feedbacks, etc. For method of installing Fennec, users can view it directly from Fennec Beta 1 Release Notes HERE.

For me, as I am only using a Sony Ericsson Z610i, I am still contemplating whether I should try Fennec on my mobile. Currently, I am using Opera Mini on my mobile and I am happy with it.

There will be a lot of competitions in the world of mobile browsers soon. Even Microsoft will be introducing Internet Explorer Mobile 6.0 soon. For mobile users, of course it will be fun to experiment with all these, provided that mobile & internet security are all covered and included in any one of these, right.

I am downloading Fennec for my Windows now. It’s 9.1MB in size. Let’s see how this goes.

Here are some screen shots of Fennec on my Windows Vista Starter. Just click on the image below to enlarge them.

My comments: I prefer the look of Opera Mini. But then again, I am not able to comment on the web browsing experience for Fennec. Therefore, I reserve my comments on that until I have the chance to try it out.

However, I do believe that I will like Fennec very much, as I am a fan of Firefox browser for some time now. If Fennec is very similar to the normal Firefox Internet browser, I am sure I would have no problem loving Fennec.

In the settings functions, as can be seen from the fourth screen shot above, there are a lot plug-in able to be downloaded and installed on Fennec, hence it very much resembles the function it has on a pc. And that is good. I hope Fennec is available for download to other mobile devices as well so that I can have the hands-on experience of it through my mobile.
