The reason that no one but Ben is trying to make this connection is that Ben's either horribly misinformed or he's just making shit up. Google does little to no Firefox development and the lead Firefox engineer and the overwhelming majority of full-time engineers working on Firefox are Mozilla employees, not Google staffers.

Full power of a desktop browser on a phone. Much better than the default browser that comes with most phones, and personally I find it a lot better than Safari on the iPhone. If Opera could release a version for the iPhone - and if Apple would allow 3rd party apps - I'd be there. The Firefox Mobile (or whatever) will do good simply because it's Firefox. The browser could suck ass and people will still claim it's the best thing since sliced bread. I'll still try it out, make no mistake. I think Firefox itself is a good browser, but Firefox fanboys annoy the hell out of me. Back when I had a Razr, I use Opera Mini 4 beta, and is was phenomenal.

With the new beta version I can even view websites in a horizontal orientation on a simple, Java-enabled phone (not a smartphone). If you haven't already, I highly recommend giving it a look, particularly the new beta. Opera Mini is incredible.
