Firefox Home Coming To iPhone, Browser Next?

Posted by StoneLion on from the where-the-heart-is dept.

siliconbits writes "Mozilla has launched an iPhone app called Firefox Home that gives iPhone users instant access to their Firefox browsing history, bookmarks, and the set of tabs from their most recent browser session. What's more, it provides Firefox Awesome Bar capability that enables people to get to their favorite websites with minimal typing." With the Mozilla blog promising "There will be more to come," can the full browser be far behind?

    Slashdotters have an odd tendency to view things in terms of black and white, good and Evil-with-a-capital-E. Most corporations fall solidly within the Evil category. Slashdot assumes that companies are in business to screw their competitors and customers as much as posible.

    The idea that companies are in business to do business doesn't register.

    I honestly don't mean this as a troll. I just don't understand something here.

    If application compatibility is an issue for you, why not ditch apple's proprietary device and buy one of the many Android devices? Or if you're a *nix user, an n900?

    I'm truly baffled by the iPhone's continued popularity amongst my fellow engineers.
