Nokia cash boosts Mozilla

Nokia has funded a cell phone browser project at the Mozilla Foundation, 
breathing new life into the open-source effort once written off as 
Microsoft roadkill.

Sources familiar with the deal this week confirmed that Nokia paid 
Mozilla to produce a cell phone browser based on the foundation's 
open-source code base. The resulting project, called "Minimo," has 
produced a workable prototype, or "pre-alpha milestone."

Mozilla and Nokia declined to comment specifically on the funding 
agreement, but a Nokia representative described the company as an 
"active player in the open-source community."
