This is awesome news. I really hope phone companies start having Firefox by default.

Sreejith: Thanks for correcting me. I was under the misconception that Apple’s Safari for iPhone had flash… it’s webkit based right?

I don’t know about the AJAX bit. But isn’t AJAX built with Javascript ? So, it should work since the browser does have Javascript support. About Flash, iPhone doesn’t support flash. Read this : http://www.flashdevices.net/2007/06/iphone-does-not-support-adobe-flash.html

Sreejith: Nokia’s browser fails to render flash objects, which is exactly where Apple took them down. Moreover, no AJAX support in Nokia’s built in browser, which means…. it is not really a browser which can handle web 2.0 apps.

Sankar: Airtel, or maybe Vodafone

Well, I think the rendering in iPhone is pretty excellent. But I think Nokia does provide computer-like surfing. Its just that iPhone has a wider screen which enhances the experience.

I’m not biased or being one-sided here, ok ? Anyway, I think Apple could’ve included 3G in the thing. Steve said that the chips are pretty immature in that they’re big and power hogs.

But personally I would be ready to sacrifice the form factor for the chip. Anyways, I just hope they add 3G before it gets to Asia and prolly the prices should drop.

Sreejith: By “no other browser which allows tabbed browsing”, I meant in the Sybmian browser segment. Even my Nokia N95 renders exactly like the screenshot posted by you (fullscreen), but I meant “Web pages on iPhone are rendered, as they appear on your computer”, and no other smartphone can do it. Or am I wrong?

And, I think you was wrong there that no other browser allows tabbed browsing and only iPhone renders full-screen webpages.

Nokia E70 does it too. See here [PIC] : http://maddox.xmission.com/e70_web8.gif
