Minimo: Mozilla for your Cell Phone?

By Geoff Duncan July 28, 2005

Doug Turner has released Minimo 0.007 for mobile devices via the Mozilla Foundation, a preview release of a Web browser for Windows CE built on the same technology as the popular Firefox Web browser. Minimo is intended to be a slimmed-down Web browser for portable devices sporting 32 to 64 MB of RAM, and is currently being developed for Microsoft’s Windows CE portable operating system.

Minimo is still in early development stages, but the latest version adds support for tabbed browsing and support for browser plug-ins.

By basing a lightweight browser on the Mozilla codebase, Minimo hopes to inherit a strong degree of standards support, features, international compatibility, and security which will enable it to interact fully with complex, modern Web sites while retaining a small footprint. Minimo is currently being developed for Windows CE, but versions are planned for Microsoft’s SmartPhone and PocketPC platforms, as well as ARM devices such as the Compaq iPaq. There are currently no plans to port to the Palm platform.

How to find your phone number on iPhone or Android

Someone holding up an iPhone 14 to their ear.

Let's face it: Most of us don't call our own phones very often. If you're like most people, this means you probably don't know your own phone number off-hand, especially if you rarely give it out to people or haven't had it for long, such as after setting up a new account or changing your number after moving to a new town.

To make things even more complicated, many modern smartphones let you set up more than one line using an eSIM, which gives you more than one number to remember.

The Honor Magic 6 RSR is my new favorite Android phone of 2024

Someone holding the Honor Magic 6 RSR outside.

There's no doubt that 2024 has already been an exciting year for Android phones. Samsung wowed us with the Galaxy S24 series at the beginning of the year, the OnePlus 12 and 12R are two of the best phones available right now, and Google is expected to impress later this month with the Google Pixel 8a.

But for the last few weeks, I haven't been thinking about any of those phones. Why? Because I've been using the Honor Magic 6 RSR. After launching in China this past March, the Magic 6 RSR is now available in the EU, and that's allowed more folks than ever to get their hands on the phone. And that's great, because the Honor Magic 6 RSR has quickly become my new favorite Android phone of 2024.
