Mobile Firefox Enters Testing Next Week
By this time next week, Mozilla will have unveiled the alpha release of its mobile Firefox browser, codenamed Fennec. But not too many people will be
able to make use of it initially: the code will only be available for Nokia's N810 Internet Tablet. The alpha code is aimed at Mozilla community
members, specifically to give the innovative touch user interface and the feature set a grueling workout, says Jay Sullivan, Mozilla vice president of
mobile.
A release for Windows mobile is in the works, to be released "in the next few months," according to Sullivan. One possible
interim option is a version to run on Windows PCs, in effect acting as an emulator.

Bing and Wolfram Alpha team up
Microsoft's Bing search engine is to team up with Wolfram Alpha, the search engine that attempts to answer questions directly rather than
providing links. The move will see Wolfram Alpha provide answers on Bing, which aims to improve it's results in nutrition, health and mathematics.
The partnership with the Wolfram Alpha, the brainchild of British-born physicist Stephen Wolfram, will initially be rolled out in the US only. The
"computational knowledge engine" answers many questions on the fly by retrieving and processing raw data from databases.

First impressions: Opera 9.5 alpha a worthy contender
Opera has always defied conventional wisdom: in the past, the company was able to survive by selling web browsers when Microsoft and Netscape were
giving them away. More recently, the company shifted to giving away its desktop browser, pulling revenue from sales in the mobile arena and affiliate
deals integrated into the browser. The company has proven to be rugged and focused on quality.
Now, the company has released alpha builds of the latest version of
their desktop product, Opera 9.5 (code-named Kestrel). While it doesn't quite add enough features to justify a full version number bump, it is a
welcome update for any Opera fan and may well get users of more popular browsers to take a second look. Despite being an "alpha" release, we've
found a solid improvement to an already very strong browser.

Mozilla delivers first alpha of Firefox 3.6

first of several developer previews. Codenamed Namoroka, after a national park in Madagascar, Firefox 3.6 is expected to be finalized and released
later this year. Namoroka uses the new Gecko 1.9.2 rendering engine which is also still in testing. The alpha includes several speed improvements to
the javascript engine, and potential speed and responsiveness upgrades to the entire browser. Also Lifehacker is reporting that Tab
Previews, a feature that was removed in the final beta of Firefox 3.5 has been added and includes a simple guide to activate this functionality.

this year. Mary Jo also questioned Rajesh Jha, Corporate Vice President of Office Live and Exchange on the release schedule of Office 14, Jha said

Windows Mobile 6.5 to officially launch on May 11
It seems like Windows Mobile 6.5 will be out before we know it. Microsoft previously said that they don't expect it until later in the year, but it
seems they are ahead of schedule. A blog post on the Windows Mobile Team blog confirms that the 6.5 update will officially launch on May 11.
May 11 is also the first say of the Tech Ed Conference, so maybe we will see a final demo of it there. The last demo we saw of it was described
as an alpha, so the gold version should be a real step forward.
Don't be too quick to update though, Microsoft decided to add extra
requirements to the new update like requiring a start menu key, and others to be dedicated to the operating system. Manufacturers are also not
expected to update most devices that are already out, and instead just new decides that roll out.
