Firefox Mobile for Android Could Be Available By End of the Year [Firefox]

[retroremakes]

Firefox Mobile for Android is inevitable (http://gizmodo.com/5463242/this-is-what-firefox-on-android-looks-like-right-now), it's just a question of when. While it's still vague, at least we know it's on the cards for late this year, with Mozilla's VP of mobiles telling TechRadar (http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/firefox-for-android-coming-late-this-year--670810) the hold up is due to different code:

"Android has been built on a Java platform, whereas [Firefix Mobile] is based on C and C++ code. Until last year when [the Open Handset Alliance] released the NDK (native development kit) which allowed native code as part of the app, it was simply impossible."
