[Vendor: Intel Moblin]

Experience rich Internet browsing on a mobile device

The Mobile Browser delivers web content to the user the way it was intended. With capable graphics hardware and screen dimensions from 800x480 to 1024x600 (device-dependent), viewing the web can be almost as good as on the PC and a lot more mobile.

Technical Details

Overview
The Mobile Browser is Mozilla-based and we are just starting development on it. After multiple discussions with different Mozilla foundation engineers, regarding the goals of the project and the hardware and system characterstics of MID devices, we’ve selected a recent version (2.0.0.4) of the Mozilla code as the base for the project.

The next steps for development will be:
