Mozilla late last night posted the first beta release of Fennec, its mobile version of the Firefox Web browser.
The Fennec 1.0 beta 1 release currently is only available for one mobile device, the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, which runs Nokia's Maemo open source operating system. But beta versions have been released for Windows, Mac and Linux desktop PCs, to let users and developers experiment with the new application and start building the all-important Firefox plug-ins.
One powerful newly added feature is the TraceMonkey JavaScript compiler, which promises to dramatically speed up many aspects of mobile browsing. Unveiled last summer, TraceMonkey is the same engine used in the latest beta versions of desktop Firefox.
