Considering the dominance of Opera Mobile 9.5 on all of HTC’s latest “big hitter” devices, it sort of makes sense that if you were going to release a competing browser, you would want to use one of the power devices like the Touch HD, but it’s not available for the NAM market. So the next big thing would be the Touch Pro.

A few weeks ago I posted about the Alpha 2 release of Fennec,  and did not really expect any news of a windows mobile release this early in the year. Well a post over at WMExperts will warm the cockles of any Touch Pro owners heart. Or Not. Information from the Mozilla Wiki, points in the direction of a February release, but there are plenty of caveats included!

We are targeting a Milestone release for the first week of February, targeting the HTC touch pro.

We are two patches away from the meta goal of building from trunk. The tools changes have review from dougt, and are waiting for review from ted, who has promised review by the end of the week. NSPR changes are waiting for review from Nelson, who asked for and received a patch against NSPR trunk

So we know what the team is working towards, but nothing has been promised, although when a development team starts talking about release dates, even though you might want to take it with a grain of salt, it seems Fennec is imminent. Well for some of us with HTC Touch Pro’s any way.
