Just thinking. . .

I'm sure a team will get on it when the official SDK is released in February. I doubt it'll be longer than July that it'll be ported over.

A Firefox for iPhone/Touch will be out sometime. It won't happen until Apple releases the SDK, or Mozilla announces that their current mobile project is already compatible with the devices.

You're probably right. They will most likely wait for the SDK so they can get it working perfectly with the hardware.
Then when Firefox Touch is out, I can remove Safari :p

Personally Firefox isn't really important to me, it's not like Safari doesn't work damn great. Why the lust for Firefox anyway? (besides adblock I suppose)

Without Flash, how many ads are on MobileSafari?

Firefox - even if it is released for the iPod touch - will not bring flash player support. The reason that Apple didn't include flash with the touch is that it's not compiled for the touch's CPU architecture.

And anyway Safari works so well on the touch that I'm not sure why you'd want Firefox?
