Mozilla Firefox Home App for iPhone and iPod Touch Ready for iTunes AppStore Approval
Mozilla Labs, the non-profit firm responsible for the second-most popular web browser Firefox, has submitted their first ever official iPhone app to Apple. The iPhone phenomenon has been around for almost 3 years but it is only now that the development team is releasing an iPhone-compatible but watered-down version of its robust Firefox web browser. They are optimistic they won’t have any trouble getting approved for distribution on the iTunes App Store. After all, Apple allowed Opera Mini quickly without a fuss even though it competes with Safari on the iPhone.

If iPhone OS 4 can only provide a built-in voice app where you can dictate to your iPhone and iTouch, then there would be no need for Dragon Dictation, a free mobile app. A major turn off for the iPhone 3G and 3GS for me is its lack of QWERTY keyboard. I have a hard time typing on the onscreen keyboard for sending emails and SMS. I feel cramped when typing out email notes and text messages on it; I am forced to send very short messages. To be honest, I try to avoid sending text messages on my iPhone 3GS. When an SMS comes in and it requires prompt reply, I whip out my Blackberry or Nokia phones to reply with. It is embarrassing to admit but I have clumsy fingers when it comes to iPhone typing.

If you want to keep eye on your Mafioso while you are away from your desktop or laptop computer, you can use your iPhone 3G or 3GS and iPod Touch to play Mafia Wars and keep your game alive anywhere, anytime. Savvy!
