Default New Alpha Build For Fennec Available

http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2009/0...ases-available/

"Today the Mozilla mobile team announced the release of two milestones for the Fennec project - Fennec 1.0 Beta 2 for Maemo and Fennec 1.0 Alpha 2 for Windows Mobile. Additionally, you can also download desktop builds for Windows, Mac, and Linux."

Anyone brave enough to try this? The improvements from the first alpha include a revamped UI, fixing usability issues and improving performance (more details in this blog post). What with the tremendous strides other mobile browsers have made in the past year or two, Fennec better be something really special, or it's going to be a non-starter when it finally releases.

As a general rule, that's what "alpha" means

Seems to work just fine for me, but the web text size is _way_ small.

It starts and runs extremely slow on my x51v, but it looks pretty good for Alpha!
