UPDATE- It has since cone to light that this rumour was totally off the mark. Mozilla have stated that an alpha version is months away from being anywhere near ready.

The latest, I know a friend who knows a friend, rumour doing the rounds among the Android sites at the moment is one from German Firefox site Camp-firefox.de.  A post there seems to indicate that we should see a beta version of the web browsing app for Android at some point next month.

It’ll be interesting to see firstly, Mozilla’s take on things, particularly the multi-touch issue, and also, how the browser stacks up against the stock browser and the very popular Dolphin.
