Good news!<\/p>\n<p>While we&#8217;ve known for some time that Firefox Mobile (otherwise known by its code name, &#8220;Fennec&#8221;) was coming to Android, but we didn&#8217;t have the slightest idea when. As you could probably assume from the headline of this post, that has since changed.<\/p>\n<p>The guys over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/phone-and-communications\/mobile-phones\/firefox-for-android-coming-late-this-year--670810\">TechRadar<\/a> had a chat with Mozilla&#8217;s VP of Mobile, Jay Sullivan, who went on the record saying that Firefox for Android should debut &#8220;late this year&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>So why not sooner? According to Jay, they just couldn&#8217;t do it when Android only supported Java development. Once Google <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2009\/06\/26\/android-development-kit-goes-native\/\">added native C\/C++<\/a> support back in June, however, the path was clear for development.<\/p>\n<p>With Skyfire on the way for Android and Firefox coming within the year, the competition for browser share on the platform should get pretty fierce pretty quickly &#8211; and you know what? We&#8217;re perfectly okay with that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/mmEvswZR_W037rP0aS4WkPHtJfs\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/mmEvswZR_W037rP0aS4WkPHtJfs\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/mmEvswZR_W037rP0aS4WkPHtJfs\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/mmEvswZR_W037rP0aS4WkPHtJfs\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=p6keieMJSEw:3p5nOxQKHv4:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=p6keieMJSEw:3p5nOxQKHv4:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=p6keieMJSEw:3p5nOxQKHv4:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=p6keieMJSEw:3p5nOxQKHv4:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=p6keieMJSEw:3p5nOxQKHv4:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you an Android user?
