iPhone Compatible

Unfortunately not…

Wired has interviewed Mozilla CEO John Lilly, and sadly they have confirmed that there will be no version of Firefox for the iPhone.

Wired: Are you going to develop a version of Firefox for the iPhone?

Lilly: No. Apple makes it too hard. They say it’s because of technical issues — they don’t want outsiders to disrupt the user experience. That’s a business argument masquerading as a technological argument. We’re focusing on more important stuff. The iPhone has been influential, but there’s not that many of them. We’re part of the LiMo Foundation — Linux on Mobile. The Razr V2 is a LiMo phone, and you’ll see more in the next year or so.

Let’s hope that Apple will allow them to release a version in the near future.
