Comments on: MozCampDelhi http://arunranga.com/blog/2009/02/mozcampdelhi/ An annotated anthology of Arun Ranganathan's Web noise.

Asa, Mary and I recorded a video for the occasion, which I suspect we’ll post on Air Mozilla before long.  If you’re attending MozCampMumbai, happy MozHunt   And enjoy some vada-pav, hackery, and conversations about the Web.

Fennec only works on smartphones. My point is we don't offer the "Opera Mini" configuration, though I'd point out that device offerings that includes server-side Gecko used to exist (Danger device, etc).

Instead, Fennec goes after smarter phones, and is still a work in progress." Psst! Opera has two mobile browsers, Opera Mini, the midlet+proxy you describe, and Opera Mobile, a full-fledged browser like what Fennec aims to be. And frankly, Opera Mobile is WAY ahead of Fennec. And for that matter, so is the WebKit-based Iris Browser. Heck, even the latest alpha of IE for WinMob is probably more widely usable than Fennec at the moment. Mozilla really should have given mobile devices more attention back in the Minimo era. They're playing catchup when they could have been way ahead. Damn shame, but better late than never I guess... “My opinion is self-explanatory, but I did point out to mobile enthusiasts that unlike Opera, we weren’t making a J2ME midlet for lower-end devices (and we weren’t providing a web proxy).

It's always interesting to see which mappings different regions of the world use. Interesting poster, in particular, I haven’t seen India’s perspective of the world.
