Firefox 3 was released recently, after vigorous testing, me and my colleagues have decided IT’S BRILLIANT!

It has taken 36 months to develop, and for a non-profit organisation, that is rather impressive.

Firefox 3 Boasts, 3 times faster page loading, compared to Firefox 2 and 7 times faster than Microsoft IE.

If we put this into perspective, Microsoft is a world leader, with Billions of Dollars of capital to invest in new products and Mozilla is a small non-profit organisation.

It just goes to show that monopolies can be beaten.

The announcement of the new Google Android Mobile phone raises some web design questions.

As designers we have to face the fact that the way a page is constructed is vital.

With the release of new mobile devices, that have the operability of a PC, the web will be increasingly viewed on them, thus a web page will look completely different on a smaller display.
Therefore we must design for the web, using a simple layout with clear and concise content, so people can find what they are looking for, even on smaller screens.

Soon we will find that websites will be developed specifically for smaller displays, this shows the constantly changing environment of the web world.

The Google powered phone will possibly be released later this year, it is said to be an improvement on Apple’s I Phone.

We look forward to testing it!
