Mozilla is releasing a new, secret iPhone application in a few weeks.
Om Malik of gigaom.com interviewed John Lilly, CEO of Mozilla, at the Play conference, a discussion organized by the students of Haas School of Business at the university of Berkeley. Lilly told Malik about a new app that Mozilla is working on for the iPhone. “Mozilla will release an app to the iPhone App Store in the next few weeks," Lilly said, “It’ll surprise people.”
He also talked with Mozilla's Vice President of Mobile Jay Sullivan who, along with Lilly, hinted at the app being Weave, a project Mozilla started a few years ago that was created for users who want to store their history and bookmarks in Mozilla's servers.
Apple has a reputation for denying any apps that compete with its own. Weave would be stepping on the toes of MobileMe, another "cloud" system that Apple uses to share media through their hardware.
