Mozilla Fennec, the mobile Firefox, released in pre-alpha for HTC Touch Pro
The early Windows Mobile release is fully-functional, though lacking some extra features and still tough around the edges.

Sure as sugar, the promised Windows Mobile release of Fennec, the mobile version of Mozilla Firefox, has been released. This is a very, very early build of the program, still considered a pre-alpha, so some functions have been left out in order to get everything working together nicely. There are likely to still be many bugs left in the code, so you might want to hold off for a future release if having a stable browser is important to you.
This release is compiled for use on HTC's Touch Pro Windows Mobile handset. While you can try giving it a shot on other devices, you'll want to find one that matches the features of the Touch Pro that Fennec has been configured for. That means a VGA screen and a physical keyboard for text input — no word on support for virtual keyboards.
You can give the browser a shot by downloading it from Mozilla's site and installing. You should be able to pull the installation file directly with your Touch Pro, but if something goes wrong, you can always download it to a PC and transfer it over manually. Just be aware that Mozilla disabled updates in this release, so it's not going to automatically prompt you when a newer version is available, as other Firefox releases do.
