Mozilla Fennec Alpha 2 Mobile browser

Dec 22 Mozilla announced the release of Fennec Alpha 2, the mobile browser. The release note says

"The initial focus of development was on building a new user interface that reflects Firefox's design principles, and adds touch screen support and other features that are appropriate for mobile phones and other hand held devices. For alpha 2, we focused mainly on performance, improving the responsiveness of panning and zooming, both while pages are loading and when they have completed loading. There are still many improvements we intend to make, including enabling TraceMonkey by default."

In addition to the mobile version, desktop versions for Windows, OS X and Linux versions are also available.
