Mozilla has officially released its Android incarnation of Firefox 4. And for those of you who still care about such things, the open source outfit has also released a version for Maemo.

The Androidian browser is available from Google's Android Market, while the Maemo version can be downloaded from Mozilla.

Firefox 4 for mobile includes Mozilla's Firefox Sync service, which lets you synchronize browser data across multiple devices. Originally known as Firefox Weave, the service syncs bookmarks, history, "Awesome Bar" data, passwords, form-fill data, and open tabs. Mobile Firefox can also accomodate those famous Firefox add-ons, and it offers a new phone-centric interface that hides the browser controls when you're not using them.

Played w/ the Playbook (Blackberry) today. I like it. Will probably pull the trigger here soon. Almost bought the Ipad but it's not conducive to typing and even though I won't type a lot, I need something that works w/ me and the Ipad doesn't. I like typing w/ my thumbs (not hunt and peck) and the playbook works well in that regard; much like the BB phone devices.

Mozilla for android doesn't support flash. Amazing oversight! I'm using my Tab now while I wait for Olay in the dentist!

I demoed youtube (flash?) on the playbook and it worked great.

Flash appearing soon?

Flash is already here. I can play Flash files easily but just NOT through FireFox for Android.

i Have an android tab (samsung) and find it totally pointless.

my phone and laptop can do so much more.

What a con they are!

[rusty nail]

Yeah... they're pants!

I wonder what their point is vs a small netbook or similar computer for similar price??

Well, it's Android so it's easier to use. It's always on like a phone and it's a lot fatser and easier to use than a net-book.

Downside is that it's not as versatile or as work friendly as a 'real' computer.

But for email, GPS (satnav), social networking sites, news, books, watching movies or listening to music then it's a lot more convenient.
