If there was ever any doubt that Mozilla could pull off something extraordinary with Firefox Mobile, this video pretty much stomps all over it.
Aza Raskin, head of user experience for Mozilla Labs, put this user interface concept demo on his blog this morning. Simply put: it rocks my face off. Their idea for how to handle tabs just about annihilates everything we’ve seen from other mobile browsers thus far, and the idea of tying nav controls/tab access to horizontal panning as a means of maximizing screen real estate usage is ingenious.
If they’re putting this much thought into the other aspects of Firefox Mobile, WebKit oughtta be shakin’ in its boots.

Almost certainly a result of the 3G iPhone’s $199.99 price tag, Sprint has been passing the word around internally that the Samsung Instinct will go for $199.99 (after contract rebates, that is) when it launches in just a few weeks.
The full retail price will be $449.99. A two-year contract will drop $150 bucks off that price via instant rebate, with Sprint throwing in an extra $100 dollars off via mail-in rebate. That takes it down to $199.99, matching it cent for cent with the new iPhone.
Unlike the AT&T and the iPhone, however, Sprint will sell the Instinct at full price to those who don’t want to renew their contracts.

When Firefox Mobile was first announced, I was a liiiittle bit skeptical. Was there really room for yet another mobile browser?
Aza Raskin, head of User Experience for the Mozilla group, released a video this day which shows off just a few UI concepts they’ve been tossing around, and it all looks outstanding. If this video is any indication of how much thought they’re putting into the product as a whole, just about any doubts I had are gone. More, please.
Check out the video over on MobileCrunch.

Addicted to Twitter, but want to get a bit more creative with your tweets? Cellspin, a free mobile blogging application which grants users to blog text, video, audio, and pics to a huge ol’ list of sites, has now added support for Twitter and Pownce.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get Cellspin to work at all on my S60 N78. I signed up for an account, added Twitter to my list of sites, and installed the application - all of which went perfectly smooth. From there, I couldn’t get it to actually post anything. The camera button behaved as expected (taking me to the photo snapping application) but regardless of what I did (snap photo and back out, snap photo and save, snap pic and upload to web, etc) I found myself back at the main menu rather than the posting screen. Same story for video and audio recording.
This could very well just be an issue with this specific handset. They also offer support for Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and a ton of other devices — Check’em out, and let us know how it works for you.

Hot on the tail of the C905 detail leak, some fine gent going by the name “PhonerX” has pushed a demo video of the handset up to the internets. With all of these demo videos leaking out, SE is either doing a reaaally bad job at keeping things under wraps, or leaking these intentionally.
Besides the stuff we know from the details leaked earlier, the video indicates that there will be upload support for Flickr, Picasa, Blogger, Youtube, and Facebook.
