SafariやOperaだけじゃない！--Firefoxもモバイルバージョン提供へ : CNETニュース : ネット＆デジタル : YOMIURI ONLINE（読売新聞）
People ask us all the time about what Mozilla's going to do about the mobile web, and I'm very excited to announce that we plan to rock it. Here's some information about what we're planning to do with hiring, technology, partnerships, and products, and how you can get involved. Short summary: we are serious about bringing the Firefox experience and technology to mobile devices.

When?
As mentioned above, Mozilla browsers are already available to N800 users and you can use Joey today to extend your Firefox desktop browsing experience to your phone. We'll continue to invest in Joey and will work closely with partners who want to ship Mozilla browsers today. Mobile Firefox will arrive later (certainly not before 2008).
What about Minimo?
Minimo was an experiment in mapping the desktop browser experience to a specific mobile context. While we don't currently plan to develop that project further, it has already provided us with valuable information about how Gecko operates in mobile environments, has helped us reduce footprint, and has given us a platform for initial experimentation in user experience.
Minimoプロジェクトは今後これ以上進める計画はないとのこと。Mozilla Foundationとは別の所で動いていたプロジェクトだったため、これ以上は難しいのかも。
FireFox路線となると、また別の話ですし、これはスマートフォン以外も含めた広くモバイル用とうたっている話で。
まだまだ相当先の話ですが、以前にPickupしたMozzila CEOのインタビューに出てきた話が、結構具体的になってきているのは確かですね。
