Former Openwave browser chief Christian Sejersen has joined Mozilla some time ago – and has just posted an article about Mozilla coming to mobile devices powered by Windows Mobile 6 to his blog:

We will first focus our efforts on two platforms/devices running on ARM11 processors (ARM v6):

* Linux – first device working already is the Nokia N800 (possibly update to N810) running Linux (maemo)
* Windows Mobile 6 – a good first device is the HTC S730

These platforms are either already up and running or will be soon – and will allow our community to start testing UX with different hardware characteristics e.g. screen size (N800/N810: 800×480 vs. HTC S730 320×240) and touch-screen vs. non-touch-screen.

As many people will quickly notice there is no Symbian version here. We are aware of the millions of Symbian devices in the world and this is just a start and a good area to focus. We’d love help on Symbian if anyone is interested.

As of now, information on what/when/where we can expect Mozilla-powered web browsing is not available. However, please stay tuned – we will keep you updated!
