Over at Cnet's Crave, Flora Graham's written up a great mobile browser comparison article. The take-away for me? Firefox Mobile is coming on strong.
Of the six browsers they reviewed, Skyfire , Opera Mobile, Firefox Mobile, Safari, Mobile IE, and
BlackBerry browser, the still in beta Firefox Mobile came in second place.
Here's what Flora had to say about Firefox Mobile.
Fennec was insanely fast at loading complicated pages -- the fastest of the browsers we tested. But there's no Flash support yet, and we had no trouble crashing this prototype version. Nevertheless, it may be worth a few crashes to take advantage of Fennec's slick user interface, speed and support for loading multiple simultaneous pages.(emphasis mine)
Stability and Flash support are obviously things we have to improve for the final release, but to have our first mobile product coming out of the gates with superior speed and UI speaks volumes.
The mobile browsing market isn't locked up, no matter what some of the other guys might think.
