There is a mobile device version of Firefox called Fennec, which began as an investigation on how to best use the small screen on mobile devices. There are versions of Fennec for the iPhone and Nokia N900.

It's apparently possible to build Fennec for Android, but it looks to be alpha status.

It's been so nice using xmarks to keep things in sync across my computers. I'll probably move to the mozilla/firefox syncer and not worry about IE syncing (which is pretty much what I do anyway).
I've downloaded the alpha build and tried it; as a browser it doesn't excite me but they have a ways to go still. As far as bookmark syncing, that was built in to the alpha, so if that takes precedence for anyone over, say, being ridiculously huge (it actually has to unpack the binaries twice so it ends up taking like 40MB of space) you'll be happy to know I got it to work. Now, since my 2.2 update and winning the WiFi argument with it, I'll try it again and my hunch is it'll be broken.

UPDATE: Still there in Fennec, broken in my desktop 3.6.10 install. Might try it in a VM, my Arch install got a backache with the last sysupdate.
