That's coming directly from Mozilla CEO John Lilly during an interview with Linux Insider (on Oct 5 2008). Question: And what are you doing in mobile? Answer: We want to make sure that the Web on mobile is more like the Web than what the mobile industry offers today, which is closed, separate networks and not a very good information-getting experience for the user. The first thing is to bring Firefox to mobile devices. We're ...

You can be sure that Nokia's 5800 XpressMusic handset won't be the first and only full touch screen handset, as evident by the image of yet another similar handset that boasts a touch screen QWERTY keyboard for you to punch in text messages and emails at lighting speed. This latest concept might see light in the new line of Nokia Communicators, although this remains to be seen. Hopefully the boys at Nokia Labs will be ...

What you see on the right is a leaked image of the upcoming Amazon Kindle, and it looks set to sell more than its predecessor due to the improvements introduced. Despite being housed in a somewhat similarly sized chassis, you get a high visibility e-paper display, speaker vents, a touch strip on the side for easy menu selection, 1.5GB of internal memory and a mini USB port. Too bad the SD memory card slot has ...

D-Link has introduced a new technology known as SharePort, allowing users to share normal USB accessories over a home network as long as the USB device is plugged into the router. All of D-Link's current 802.11n routers will be able to support this functionality thanks to a free firmware upgrade. For the more technically minded, SharePort technology relies on using new USB over TCP/IP technology, where a single USB port on the back of the ...

[CEATEC 2008] We briefly talked about the Kohjinsha SC and SX ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) before and most of the time, we’ve shown product photos, but there’s nothing like a good hands-on with these devices to see how they really are. Our impressions? At between $700 and $1000, they are somewhat pricey and you should really look at what you are going to do with them. If you mainly use web applications and basic stuff, then ...

Ubuntu comes in different forms, and the latest of these would be Ubuntu Mobile that is specially concocted to target UMPCs as well as smaller notebooks. This is different to Ubunto Netbook Pro (which made its debut earlier this year), since Ubuntu Mobile targets devices that lack a keyboard and rely on touch screen displays for navigation, ruling netbooks out. The interface has been changed to cater for plenty finger use, where buttons are slightly ...

Bill Gates is known for his taste for Tablet / Touch computers, so it's not so surprising that the Q1 was his choice for this donation, although I thought that he would pick a Tablet - May be Samsung donated too? Anyhow, the important thing is that users over there can roam with edgy UMPCs. "The Nebraska Library Commission is proud to announce that the following 48 Nebraska public libraries have been awarded WiFi Connectivity ...
