Your argument is way off. It's not like Engadget was suggesting the name be different across each mobile operating system. In other words, if Engadget had said Firefox should have a different name for the Symbian version than the Windows Mobile version, your statement would be appropriate. Cross-platform web browsers usually have a different name for handset versions. Opera has "Opera Mobile" and "Opera Mini". Internet Explorer has "Internet Explorer Mobile".
Sorry, but I think I responded mostly because I hate the snarky "slow news day?" comments people leave when they don't like a certain post. I think most people were expecting a different name for the mobile version, so this is newsworthy. Not groundbreaking, but what ever is on Engadgetmobile? It's a freakin' phone blog. And if you want to criticize tell it to Phonearena since they're the ones who broke the story in the first place.]]>Feb 26th 2009 8:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/26/fennec-to-be-known-as-firefox-just-firefox/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/26/fennec-to-be-known-as-firefox-just-firefox/Feb 26th 2009 10:14PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/26/fennec-to-be-known-as-firefox-just-firefox/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/26/fennec-to-be-known-as-firefox-just-firefox/
It makes as much sense to call Fennec "Firefox" as it does to rename the Honda Odyssey to the Pilot, because the Pilot and Odyssey have the same engine and they're both made by Honda.

Ok, that was a van/SUV analogy rather than a car analogy, but you get my drift.

I could like with "Firefox Mobile" or "Firefox Lite", but just Firefox? That's madness.]]>Feb 27th 2009 11:35AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/26/fennec-to-be-known-as-firefox-just-firefox/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/26/fennec-to-be-known-as-firefox-just-firefox/
Because the name fennec just sux...

and Firefox is THE name for multiplatform browsing using mozilla products !

fifrefox for winmobile, for symbian, and why not for i-shitz

hopes that it can be a sort of skyfire+opera combined with full flash support on all websites =)

if it didnt work great with fiull flash support, i think that adobe wil have the opportinity to open is own browser for mobile devices
