Some weeks ago the Firefox Mobile Concept spread over the specialized blogosphere. It´s well known how Mozilla works and how much they care for the quality of their software, and we could hardly wait for a first beta. Unfortunately, such event still don´t have a concrete date as Fennec (the product codename) has just born and is in a pre-alpha development stage.
We´ll have to stay in wait since 9th September for a first official alpha release, but right now Fennec it´s more than a concept: its Milestone 6 (M6) provides a functional prototype working on Linux devices like Nokia Internet Table N8×0 (install instructions here), showing a beautiful UI as well as nice tabs: the concept made real.
According to the official Fennec Requirements, M7 is going to be released next tuesday. This milestone is the last one before the first alpha, and for sure it will sketch out even better the future line of the browser. Anyway, after being able to test the concept on a touch-screen device, would be great to test M7 on a simpler smartphone without touch capabilities.
