The desktop browser wars are fiercer than ever, with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and *cough* Internet Explorer all in a heated race for users (and new features). But there’s a relatively new market that’s still ripe for a surge in browser innovation: mobile.

While Mozilla's recent release of version 5 of the Firefox browser is being met with much less criticism than the previous version 4, the speed with which both new versions were produced represents a new chapter for Mozilla. For years, Mozilla pursued a slow release cycle with its browser, and Google Chrome, over its life, has had far more significant upgrades than Firefox has had, even though Firefox is much older. Mozilla announced its intent to pursue a new rapid release cycle early this year. Not everyone is happy with the speed of the releases, though, and enterprise IT administrators may be among the most unhappy observers.

You can run a variety of Linux commands in the emulator. Since its initial release on May 16 2011, this project has seen some feature additions namely - a clipboard to exchange data between the VM and the host, and support for Opera and Internet Explorer apart from Firefox.
The clipboard is seen as /dev/clipboard in the emulator. You can use this clipboard to easily transfer data from your host machine to the virtual machine (and vice versa) as explained in the FAQ.
Do check it out. It is really a cool demonstration of the power of Javascript.
