Wow! What a great update. It's still a bit slow and memory hungry, but the interface is to die for. I am looking forward to seeing where development is headed.
I'd love to see a port of chromium with this interface. Chrome is a browser of true elegence. I'm also a fan of the v8 engine.

BTW, it can also be installed on an N800 per the Release page (it omits mention of the N800 near the top, but lower down it includes it):
(and I'm doing it now)
System requirements:
* Nokia N900
* Nokia N810 or N800 Internet Tablets running OS2008 ("chinook" or "diablo")
Installation:
* If you're viewing this on an N900, N810 or N800, click here to install Fennec
* Read here for step by step instructions

In brief, clearly still a beta. Interesting UI, but for me it jumped around uncontrollably, sometimes giving me an unrequested sidebar, sometimes magnifying hugely.
It seems like it's set up to accept add-ons, but when I tried to install them, MicroB would launch and then the App Manager would inform me that I was trying to install something that was incompatible with MicroB.

Great !!! I have been using fennec ( recent dev version ) and it eventually replace my tear on N810 . The double click zoom in function with adds-on is a big plus than tear ! Much easier reading than Tear .

To install on N810/N900 or Windows/Linux/MacOSX, is rather easy, see quick start guide in release notes.
