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.

For super cheap phone deals, go straight to the source and head to Motorola. Right now, you can buy the Moto G 5G phone for just $150, saving you $100 off the regular price of $250. For a budget phone, it’s ideal to keep you happy with necessities like web browsing, social media, text and calls. Here’s everything else you need to know about it.

Why you should buy the Moto G 5G
You won’t see the Moto G 5G on our look at the best Android phones as it’s pretty basic. At this price though, that’s hardly surprising. It has the essentials covered well. There’s a 6.4-inch HD+ screen which looks pretty good for the price. That’s helped by its 120Hz refresh rate which means you get smooth scrolling and no motion blur when watching videos or playing games. Alongside that are two large stereo speakers so you can be suitably entertained here. There’s also Dolby Atmos support to provide more immersive sound.

You’ll soon be able to control your iPhone and iPad with your eyes

The iPad Air 4 in hand.

Apple has announced a bunch of new accessibility features that will arrive later this year for iPhone and iPad owners. Notable among them is the ability to interact with iOS and iPadOS interfaces using eye movement, which is something that's seen in a similar system on Mac hardware.

The company calls it Eye Tracking, and it's a system built on the Dwell Control foundations. So far, Dwell Control has been available as part of the Accessibility Keyboard on macOS, allowing users to execute mouse actions using eye and head gestures.
