Michael Wu, Brad Lassey, Alex Pakhotin and I have been focusing on getting a build ready that's usable by a broader set of people, and we're now ready to get that build out there.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/04/27/fennec">John Gruber comments</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>It'll be interesting to see if Gecko can be turned into a worthy mobile competitor to WebKit.</p></blockquote> <p>Gecko already runs in a released mobile device. The <a href="http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/">Nokia N900</a> uses <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroB">MicroB</a> as its built in browser and that is based on Gecko. The web browser functionality of MicroB matches, if not exeeds, that of many WebKit based browsers on other mobiles which I think shows that Gecko can be a 'worthy competitor'.</p> 2006-11-19T03:49:00+13:00 http://bluishcoder.co.nz/2006/11/19/ruby-on-symbian-cellphones <p>The <a href="http://developer.symbian.com/main/tools/opensrc/ruby/index.jsp">Ruby programming language has been ported by Symbian</a> to run on cellphones running the <a href="http://www.s60.com/life">Series 60</a> interface.</p>
