Early Adopter Download of the Day: Minimo (Windows Mobile)

Windows Mobile only: Previously mentioned freeware app Minimo is a mobile browser based on the same wonderful Mozilla technologies that bring us Firefox.

Minimo's come a long way since we last posted about it, and its strong feature set includes pretty good javascript/AJAX support and tabbed browsing that looks and feels like regular Firefox tabs. This little browser is still very young, and support for a lot of javascript and AJAX may end up being a bit too much for what you Windows Mobile device can handle while remaining snappy (at least it was for mine - Google Maps did work, but it was a little jumpy), but this is a nice looking mobile browser you might want to keep your eyes on. Like Firefox, Minimo claims to have extension support, but as far as I could find, there currently aren't any extensions available. Either way, it's a definite step up from the mobile version of Internet Explorer if that's what you're browsing with on your mobile device.
