While it’s not actually available for Windows Mobile yet, you can download an emulator of Fennec, the new Firefox Mobile (a fennec is a small desert fox) and try it out on your desktop. I’ve played around with it a bit and I’m really, really impressed. If this runs at reasonable speed on a Windows Mobile phone, it’s going to make people forget all about Opera Mobile, Iris and Skyfire, not to mention the Internet Explorer 6 that we’re not likely to get without buying new devices.
