Fennec Beta 1 walkthrough from Madhava Enros on Vimeo.

Fennec Beta 1 (mobile Firefox) is now apparently live on the Maemo platform. What’s Maemo? Well, it’s the platform used on Nokia’s Internet Tablets… So I wouldn’t even bother trying to load this up on any other OS. That said, Beta 1 is said to include ‘greatly increased zooming speed and panning smoothness’ along with plugins that should now allow users to watch videos online. If you have a Nokia N810, you may want to give this a try right away… For everyone else, just be pleased that Fennec is moving forward!

Check out the walkthrough video above. Looks pretty good!… And to get started head on over to Mozilla for download links and more information.
