Mozilla Firefox 3.5As many of you probably know by now, Firefox 3.5 Release Candidate is available for download. My first impressions have been very good.

The downloadable web font capability is immediately shown (although not a quality example), on the Firefox 3.5 Welcome tab.

However, as with all beta/RC software, you are likely to have some issues. After about 20 minutes of web browsing and playing with the new and improved Firebug 1.4 beta, I hit some snags.

iPhone 3G S outsells Palm Pre, times 10

Apple iPhone vs. Palm PreEarly numbers are suggesting that the iPhone 3G S alone, outsold the Palm Pre by a staggering margin. Analysts put the number of iPhone 3G S sales around the 750 thousand units, while Apple has since claimed that number is actually over 1 million.

As for the Palm Pre's launch a few weeks ago, it sold roughly 50 to 100 thousand units. Official numbers have not been released, but Sprint did confirm the Palm Pre broke all previous sales records.

While many considered the Palm Pre launch a success, it is obviously still in the shadows of Apple's iPhone. Outselling a competitor by 10 fold is not something that can be easily overlooked. Having played with the Palm Pre briefly, my impressions were positive aside from the sharp points at the bottom of the phone. Although I can't say I'd trade my iPhone in for one.
