HTC Sense UI running on the Motorola Droid

Mozilla Firefox Fennec shows off on Google Nexus One and Motorola Droid

The dreams come true to all mobile users out there – a better browser comes to the market, there is a lot of rumors about Mozilla’s Fennec, but nothing about the Android version of this mobile Firefox browser until today. We have two photos that shows Nexus One and Motorola Droid running a full (landscape mode too), non-mobile optimized version of Mozilla Firefox. Now, it seems that with the full version working well, some of Firefox’s features have been ported to its mobile cousin called Fennec on the Android platform. At this point, the shots are just being teased around and no release date has been established.

Motorola Droid overclocked to 1.1Ghz – faster than Nexus One

Folks over at AllDroid have managed to overclock the Motorola Droid phone to 1.1Ghz, hence making it faster than the “stock” Nexus One which is powered by 1Ghz Snapdragon processor. The test was carried out by testing Droid with different clock speeds (800Mhz, 900Mhz, 1Ghz, 1.1Ghz) after which it was found to be running most stable at 800Mhz.

Motorola Droid overclock guide:

Here are 3 intirim releases I used when compiling the info in this post, where the 600MHz slot was replaced with 800MHz, 900MHz, and 1GHz respectivly. 800MHz seems rock solid, as did 900MHz, 1GHz was only tested for 5 minutes. 1.1 seems a touch unstable so it’s going to be left for when cpufreq and etc get more slots added.
