"Firefox Mobile" alpha hits Windows Mobile 6

Jessica Dolcourt | May 18, 2009

For months, Mozilla's mobile version of its Firefox browser has been in first alpha, then beta modes on two Maemo-run Nokia Internet Tablets that few possessed. On Friday, Fennec (as it's been code-named) has arrived on a platform that many more testers will be able to sink their fingers into: Windows Mobile 6.

As with Fennec beta 1 for the Nokia N810 and N800, Fennec Alpha 1 for Windows Mobile 6 (download the CAB file) has been tailor-made for the HTC Touch Pro, with an intention to expand to more handsets in future releases. The flashiest feature to expect is support for add-ons. We got a glimpse of them at CTIA, and judging from Mozilla's video tour of Fennec on Windows Mobile, the module is now much more fleshed out. In addition to a list of recommended add-ons is a tab to start searching for more extensions.

What do you want from the next Android device?

Bonnie Cha | May 18, 2009

While many cell phone fans are awaiting the launch of the Palm Pre and details of a new iPhone, there's another segment of the community that's waiting for something else: More Google Android phones.

Their arrival seems imminent with a T-Mobile-branded HTC Magic passing through the FCC and now the Samsung I7500 getting the official stamp of approval. Also, there are rumors of a Motorola-manufactured T-Mobile G1 v2 slated for October. And let's not forget that Sony Ericsson, HTC, and Samsung have more than one Android device slated for 2009.

While the prospect of new hardware is exciting and we certainly need some new designs to add to lonely (and umm, clunky) T-Mobile G1, let's not forget the guts of the phone, the actual Android operating system.

BlackBerry Storm 2 images leaked

The folks at CrackBerry.com have scored images of the BlackBerry Storm 2, RIM's next touchscreen device after the original Storm. From the photos, the Storm 2 looks very much like the original with a large LCD on the front and the same 3.2-megapixel camera and metal battery cover around the back. The device does appear to be a little slimmer and the physical buttons that are below the screen on the Storm now look as if they are part of the panel for the sequel.

An earlier story from Boy Genius Report suggested that the new Storm will finally come with Wi-Fi connectivity, and instead of the SurePress screen technology (where the entire screen is depressed for tactile feedback) it will sport something new called TruePress. We'll see how these rumors pan out in the coming months. Click to see one more image of the back.

Expect at least two more HTC Android handhelds this year

Damian Koh | May 14, 2009

HTC Magic and HTC Dream

There's news straight from the horse's mouth. At today's launch of the HTC Magic in Singapore, executive vice president Jason Juang told CNET Asia in an aside that the company will be releasing at least two more Android smartphones by the end of this year. He remained coy when pressed for more details. HTC's no longer alone in the Android party as Samsung has recently announced its first Android offering, the I7500. We'll continue to keep you updated. Meanwhile, check out our hands-on pictures of the Magic, or if motion images are your kind of thing, click to a First Looks video here.
