My dreams have just been crushed! Mozilla has stopped development on their verison of Firefox for Windows Mobile phones. Now I am not opposed to Opera which I have running now, but I am only using it because it is the lesser of two evils.
Mozilla was preparing to develop a version of Firefox for Windows Mobile, and the development work Mozilla has done on Windows CE 6 has left it “well positioned to have an awesome browser on Windows Phone 7,” according to Parmenter.
But the absence of a software development kit for native applications has made it impossible for Mozilla to move forward, he said.
Microsoft will only support development of applications running in the Silverlight runtime environment, or of games in the XNA Game Studio runtime environment, it announced last week at its Mix conference. It will not allow third party app developers direct access to the phone’s hardware, where they might be better able to exploit its potential.
