In October, I took a look at Mozilla Fennec, the precursor to the mobile version of Firefox that is sure to make a huge splash in the mobile-browsing world, once it's released to the salivating crowds.

The graduation of Fennec from alpha to beta 1 means that Mozilla is a milestone closer to bringing its vision to the world. For now, however, Fennec remains in code mode, released as a mobile and desktop test version for developers, and for others who want to give it a spin and spoon Mozilla some feedback.beerfest

Consistent with Fennec alpha, the mobile installation of Fennec beta is compatible only with the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet (over-the-air installation link).

Luckily, you don't have to be among this sliver of the populace to partake of the good news. Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux users can also download emulators to give Fennec beta 1 a try.
