Ο πρόεδρος της Mozilla στην Ευρώπη, απαντώντας σε ερωτήσεις του ElectricPig.co.uk, ανέφερε ότι ο ‘Mobile Firefox’ δεν θα μπορέσει να μεταφερθεί στο iPhone λόγω των περιορισμών της Apple όσων αφορά τους ανταγωνιστικούς, προς το ‘Mobile Safari‘, web browsers.
“The issue is more with Apple than with us because they control the App Store and because they refuse applications which compete with something that is already on the phone. It’s unlikely that we’ll see a version of Firefox running on the iPhone”.
“We’re not investing time and energy in this direction because we’re pretty sure it would be blocked by Apple, so we’re better off using our time in terms of development to do things on open platforms”.
“[Firefox for mobile] is a modern browser with all the bells and whistles that you’ll find in your desktop browser so you need a powerful operating system such as Android or Maemo or Windows Mobile”.
Ο ‘Firefox Mobile‘ θα κυκλοφορήσει στις ακόλουθες πλατφόρμες: Symbian, Android, Windows Mobile και Nokia Maemo tablets, τον προσεχή Δεκέμβριο.
