Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

There have been many computer users that have switched over from the Internet Explorer browser included as a standard on many personal computers, to the lighter Firefox browser. Firefox is an open source application, from the same techies that created Ubuntu, and offers an internet browsing experience that is faster and less buggy than that of the “new and improved” IE. But, for those that use the mobile broadband connection on their phones to access the internet, will Firefox be offering a free browser for mobile phones? Will the Firefox browser offer more speed and less kinks than the current Internet Explorer for mobile.

The answer to this question is yes. Firefox has a mobile broadband browser in the works right now and developers seem to think this new addition to the mobile broadband experience is one that will speed up the rate at which mobile users will be able to connect and browse the internet. The best part about the Firefox for mobile offering is the FREE price tag that will be attached to the browser. More than likely, the unit will be downloaded to phones via syncing or mobile internet connections and installed to the phone automatically.

Once the Firefox for mobile offering is out and ready to use, more than a few mobile broadband users will be surfing the internet even faster than the current 3g mobile broadband internet connections currently allow them to surf and they will be all over the internet with more to see than their IE counterparts.
