http://www.snap2objects.com/2007/07/20/45-best-freeware-design-programs/

I have to say, this is a great list of freeware design / graphics programs for everyone to use. From simple image editing to 3D animation and taking care of fonts management…

Just got released for beta testing.. Mozilla (Firefox) engine is now available for n800 users.

1. Mozilla Engine – provides support for the latest web standards and is flexible and extensible, and is based on mozilla.org’s current Gecko layout engine which will be version 1.9 when it is released with Firefox 3.0
2. AJAX Support – allows rendering of modern sites that use AJAX (e.g. Google Maps, Google Docs, Meebo, etc.)
3. RSS Previews – takes advantage of native support for XML to render RSS feeds
4. Add-ons – support for a number of Firefox and Mozilla add-ons allows you to enhance and personalize your browsing experience
5. Certificate Details – view certificate details for secure connections by pressing the lock button.

Here’s the official link- http://browser.garage.maemo.org/

Before you install, let me tell you, I tried it.. but the current bugs e.g.

1. Wasted space from side of scroll bar to screen
2. Unable to use touch screen to scroll/navigate around screen (this is my main disincentive)
3. Not very fast for some sites

and others have reported the on-screen keyboard popping up more often than it should..

Other than the above, there have been really positive feedback on this release from Nokia… oh and you can switch between engines if you want to. (Opera and Mozilla).

It should be located in your menu just under ‘Close’ option. If you don’t see it there, you will need to do the following.

Using – sudo gainroot

and execute the following commands

cp .browser .browser.bak

cat .browser.bak | sed s/hidden=true/hidden=false/ > .browser

I would recommend one wait for the next release before installing this great update.
