Mozilla CEO John Lilly has, in a recent interview, shed some light on its upcoming iPhone App. Well, not much except that it is an app.

That said, any app for the iPhone from Mozilla would be interesting. This is because Mozilla is famously known for its browser and to have a different browser apart from the default Safari browser on the iPhone is almost impossible. Apple did approve two browsers late last year though - but none of them was from major developers like Opera or Mozilla.

So, it is interesting to note what kind of an application is Mozilla actually working on. While it's quite natural for anyone to assume it might be a new browser, keeping in mind Apple's stand on third party browsers, we can also expect a software other than a browser. It could be anything, ranging from a bookmark sync tool or a plug in for the existing Safari browser.

Mozilla is making a big push into the mobile browsing territory and already has browsers for Windows Mobile and the Maemo platforms.
