A Fennec is a small little desert fox, one of the cute and cuddly ones.  Mozilla is naming their new mobile web browser Fennec, because it just so happens to be a smaller, cuter version of the very popular FireFox.

Released yesterday as a beta only for the Nokia N810 tablet, it has been gaining some attention.  Like FireFox, it includes the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine, and the ability for add-ons.  Of course, most add-ons currently available will not be supported, but lets hope the NAMFox is!

It is also expected that Fennec will be built to run on multiple mobile OS's, including Windows Mobile and Symbian.  If you want to try out the browser now, and you don't happen to have a Nokia N810 tablet, you can head to the offical Fennec site and download a emulated version for Windows, Mac, or some Linux flavors.
