Mozilla interview: Opening up mobile browsing (The H)

The H (formerly known as Heise) talks with Mozilla VP Jay Sullivan about mobile browsing. "One of the reasons that the browser that comes out of the Fennec project will be called Firefox, rather than Firefox Mobile, is that there are far fewer differences between the desktop and mobile world than you'd expect. Location on the PC might come from a Wi-Fi service, rather than GPS or cell tower location, but it's still useful for searches, and cameras are becoming common on notebooks. Beyond telephony and SMS, Sullivan says there are few unique mobile features. 'As we look into it, every time we think we've found a feature, that's kind of a mobile feature, we say that should be in Firefox too.'"
