Looks like there will be no iPhone Firefox in the foreseeable future. In a recent interview with Wired Mozilla CEO John Lilly took a chance to give Apple a jab about their limiting iPhone SDK & App Store. Looks like if Firefox is going to ever make it’s way to the iPhone it will require an unofficial 3rd party native application ported by some brilliant iPhone hacker.
Wired: Are you going to develop a version of Firefox for the iPhone?
Lilly: No. Apple makes it too hard. They say it’s because of technical issues — they don’t want outsiders to disrupt the user experience. That’s a business argument masquerading as a technological argument. We’re focusing on more important stuff. The iPhone has been influential, but there’s not that many of them. We’re part of the LiMo Foundation — Linux on Mobile. The Razr V2 is a LiMo phone, and you’ll see more in the next year or so.
