Mobile Firefox Release Date

When Mozilla will release Firefox Mobile?
probably not anytime soon, the latest build of Opera Mobile 9.5 should serve you well though.

I think there is a concept version available:

and here:

looks like it'll eat lots of ram...even more than the current opera betas which only allowed for three concurrent tabs. But let's see...
The concept preview didn't show any killer features (like flash and plugin support). I really could care less about the interface. Netfront, Opera, and Picsel Browser are pretty finger friendly already.

Chrome Browser

iOS has Safari Mobile, WP7 has IE Mobile, I'm just curious to why Google hasn't released a mobile version of Chrome for android. Android is at version 3.x now so its pretty matured, but still missing Chrome. Does anyone know exactly why they are not releasing it or why the delay?
I also don't get why Apple hasn't released iChat for iOS.

Dont know why dont you ask them and report back?
umm..because Android stock browser is chrome? it just needs updating...
My guess is at some point in the future Android and Chrome Os might merge in some shape or form...but to put a full featured chrome on Android would kinda remove the point of Chrome OS...
Correct the stock browser is based on the desktop version of the Chrome Browser. However it still does not have the same GUI.
There are multiple web browsers though that offer many of the same functionalities. I'm currently digging the Angel Browser myself.

Android 7.0

Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that the company may launch an online poll to give the public a chance to decide the name of the next Android version, which will be Android 7.0.
All the versions of Google’s Android mobile operating system thus far have candy-themed names. We’ve seen Donut (Android 1.6), Eclair (2.0), Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3), Honeycomb (3.0), Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), Jelly Bean (4.1), KitKat (4.4), Lollipop (5.0), and this year’s release was Marshmallow (6.0).
With Google having decided that the new Android 7.0 build will be called Android N, Pichai’s hints about the company’s new Android naming plan indicates that Android fans and users may get an opportunity to submit their choices for a candy-themed name beginning with the letter N. Android N is likely to come sometime in October next year.
