(Click here for larger image of MiniMo with "HomeBase" sidebar)Two key enhancements in version 0.13, according to Turner, are a redesigned user interface along with a "HomeBase" sidebar (see above screenshot) that offers easy access to common mobile applications.
The MiniMo project, which has focused on porting Mozilla to small consumer devices, aims to minimize code-size and runtime footprint while maximizing small-screen usability, according to the project's home page. The project was launched early last year, when Turner
announced that he was working on a port of Minimo to Windows CE and issued a general call to Windows CE developers to help out in the effort.
The new release is available
here in two forms -- an installer that runs from a desktop PC, and a CAB installer that can be downloaded directly to a Windows Mobile device. Turner cautions that previous versions must be completely removed manually before upgrading to the new version.
