And that could open the door for the Weave service, as well.  Apple’s Mobile Me service doesn’t sync bookmarks or web passwords over-the-air currently, although I suspect these functions could be added in the future. In light of that, I’m thinking we’re about to see Fennec on the iPhone. That’s the simplest explanation, and the simple ones are often right. And there’s a little — admittedly, very little — evidence that the iPhone could be in the mix for Fennec.

Why the change in stance? Did someone fall asleep at the [...]

I would love a landscape mode that allows me to read from and subject on left pane and preview on the right. Also an email client that supports search and filter??

FireFox and Opera are out because they don’t use the WebKit engine. They could do a Mobile FireFox or Opera by switching to WebKit, but not before.

WebKit is the faster technology though, and 100% open, so it would be cool if they did. I think pride will get in the way here though, and they will likely just whisper insults from the sidelines and not actually compete.

I think Opera should at least try. It would be nice to have some non-Norwegians use that thing. ;)

I wonder what the odds of seeing Mobile Firefox or Mobile Opera hit the App Store now. Can’t wait!
