CEO John Lilly has announced that Mozilla will release an iPhone app to the App Store in the next few weeks. Lily revealed this information to GigaOM during an interview at the annual confab organized by students of the Haas School of Business at Berkeley.
"Mozilla will release an app to the iPhone app store in the next few weeks," Lilly said. “It'll surprise people.”
When asked if Weave was going to be part of the new iPhone app Lily and Jay Sullivan, Mozilla's VP of Mobile just smiled and remained silent.
Weave is an in-development add-on for Mozilla Firefox. Its purpose is to push metadata out onto the cloud. One use is to allow users to synchronize bookmarks and browsing history across multiple computers, as demonstrated by the Weave Sync component. [W]
Apple has traditional rejected any application which could duplicate or mimic the functionality of current or future Apple apps. It may be difficult for Mozilla to get their app approved.
