DISQUS

Dear Unwiredview.com, I think there is a slight misunderstanding: I've never announced a shipping date for Firefox Mobile. Ever. The reason why is that I don't know when it's going to be released.

However - and this is probably how you have got the information wrong - my colleague Mitchell Baker, has posted about our 2010 goals on her blog: http://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2008/09/11/propo... . It does mention Mobile.

She explains in more details in a subsequent post:

> I saw one press article wondering if including “have an effective product in the mobile space” in our 2010 goals means that we won’t ship something interesting until 2010. That is not the case at all. We will ship well before then. The intent of this goal was to say: in 2010 when we look at where we are, it should be screamingly obvious that we’ve done this. That means releasing a good product much sooner, seeing good results and acceptance, and seeing those results grow over time.

I have discussed Firefox Mobile (codenamed Fennec) in the past saying that we should see an Alpha pre-version hopefully before the end of the year if it's ready. I would appreciate if you could edit your article accordingly.
