Fennec Beta 1 walkthrough from Madhava Enros on Vimeo.
The Windows Mobile version of Fennec (Firefox Mobile) might have run into a problem or two, but the version of Nokia’s N810 seems to be working fine, as you can see from the video below. The good news is that the Windows Mobile Fennec team has sorted out the memory allocation issues, so it’s a step forward for Firefox in the mobile browser wars.

Fennec Will Be Called Firefox
Author: +866.com28 Feb
We’ve been calling it Fennec for such a long time, and in case you’re not sure what we’re talking about, it’s the mobile version of Firefox, that should be released in the near future. In terms of its name, word is out that it will be called “Firefox”, nothing more. So maybe we can ditch the “Firefox Mobile”, “Mobile Firefox” names and just continue to pray that it will be released sooner rather than later.

Fennec For Your HTC Touch Pro
Author: +866.com12 Feb
Firefox fans out there (who own a HTC Touch Pro anyways) can rejoice, as Mozilla has announced the first milestone release for Fennec, which is as we all know, the mobile version of Firefox. As we mentioned, the current build that they’re offering for download only supports HTC’s Touch Pro at the moment, so you’re out of luck if you’re using another phone. Hopefully this milestone release will help Mozilla get useful feedback on the browser and help them turn it into the final product sooner rather than later.

Samsung D980 La Fleur Touch with Mobile Coupons
Author: +866.com9 Feb
It seems that Samsung is getting seriously ready for a Valentine’s day in Russia. We already told you about a beautiful Samsung F480 La Fleur Touch edition. But it’s not the only one.
Samsung has dressed up it’s dual SIM version of F480 – D980 – in La Fleur colors too. And aptly named it Samsung D980 La Fleur Touch.
Both Samsung F480 and D980 La Fleur Touch editions come equipped something called “Mobile Coupon”, which claims to be a mobile version of plastic discount cards you can get at various retailers.
Samsung has partnered with a number of shops, cafes, cinemas, beauty parlors, fitness clubs and other places you’d want to get discount from. All you have to do – is send an SMS to Samsung requesting a mobile coupon. You’ll get a link to download a small Java app through which you’ll be able to view all the discount offers and download the mobile coupons you want. Then you just flash this coupon on a phone screen when buying something and you get a discount.
Sounds interesting. But there’s some bad news. Mobile Coupons are only available on a limited number of La Fleur Collection phones, which includes Samsung F480, D980 Touch and older L310, L320 and F250. And, what’s worse – all of these goodies are only available in Russia for now.
Well, let’s see if it works over there. Then, maybe, Samsung can bring mobile coupons to the rest of the world too.

Firefox Mobile (Fennec) for HTC Touch Pro scheduled for February
Author: +866.com28 Jan
Available until now only for Nokia’s N810 Internet Tablet, Mozilla Firefox Mobile (known under the codename Fennec) might be released pretty soon for Windows Mobile too.
The Mozilla Wiki webpage says that the company is “targeting a Milestone release for the first week of February, targeting the HTC Touch Pro.”
As you can see, not all WM handsets out there will be able to run Fennec starting February.
Even so, this is a good start for the mobile Firefox browser, and I guess it won’t be long until we get to see a full Windows Mobile version of it.
Mozilla developers are probably working at this very moment for the Windows Mobile Fennec, so let’s wait for February and see what it will be like.

iGoogle For iPhone Killed
Author: +866.com22 Jan
Folks who don’t own an iPhone might not have noticed, but it seems that Google has silently killed its iPhone-version of the iGoogle site. iPhone users who pop over to the site will be redirected to the standard version of the site. It’s not surprise to hear that this has drawn a lot of complaints of the hoards of iPhone users out there. Is this a ploy from Google to try and give a subtle boost to its own Android platform? A message from a Google employee at the Google support forum said:
“We decided to direct iPhone users to the standard mobile iGoogle Page. We’ve found that people hit iGoogle from lots of different phones — we want to ensure you’ll all see the same version. Most or all of your existing content should translate over to the standard mobile version. The only exception would be any gadgets that aren’t compatible with most mobile browsers.”

VLC Coming To Windows Mobile
Author: +866.com19 Jan
While a new video playback software for your mobile phone normally isn’t that big news, you’d certainly pay attention if the video playback software that is coming to Windows Mobile is VLC, which is from the VideoLan project. If the Windows Mobile version is anywhere near as good as the desktop version, we’ll certainly have a winner on our hands, and watching movies on your Windows Mobile device will certainly be more fun.

Rumors are going around that T-Mobile employees will be getting training on the Samsung Cleo at the end of January. While the phone is pretty and cute, and will appeal to the ladies, it probably will do a good job of turning away guys looking to buy a new cell phone. There aren’t any concrete details on what specifications the T-Mobile version of the Samsung Cleo will have, but it should be similar to the current specifications of the device, such as a 1.3 megapixel camera, and QWERTY keyboard. There is a rumored January 28th release date, but you might want to take that with a pinch of salt at the moment.
