A video demo of the new mobile version of Firefox, Fennec, came out yesterday and showed, among other things, the capability of this very interesting browser to play Flash content on mobile devices. The demo was made on a Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, on which Flash animation ran at a horrifying low speed, probably due to the low processing power of the device. 

Apple has recently changed its developer policies allowing 3rd party developers to make web browsers for the iPhone, it is unknown if Apple would allow a 3rd party browser to run Flash as it does not allow it on its main browser. Of course, Fennec will probably also appear on other mobile platforms such as Android.

Check out the video demo of Fennec which, though in early beta, already looks like a decent competitor to the mobile version of Safari on the iPhone.
