“BetaNews was informed this afternoon of a proposal at AOL
to expand upon the Mozilla browser and Gecko code to bring it to
the forefront of the Internet “browser war” that has been
raging on since the beginnings of the Internet browsing
phenomenon.”
“This proposal will bring Gecko into the palm of your hand, as
the Internet’s largest service provider plans to adapt the code
and develop “micro-browser technology” for use on smaller devices
such as Nokia cell phones.”
“The proposal also outlined plans to corroborate with IBM in
developing “enterprise features” to make it more appealing to large
customers. These features may include offline mail
synchronization, directory replication, the ability to manage and
lock preferences, and security features such as S/MIME.”
