 Hey Graziano, thanks for the update. :)

 Alas, »Firefox is available for Android phones (2.0 and above) and the 
 Nokia N900.«

 Ciaran: As one of the unfortunate people still stuck on 1.6 (G1): Is 
 there already a way in FDroid that incompatible apps are marked? I find 
 the way its done in Android Market, just not showing it, very confusing. 
 More ideal would be either greying it out and having a »Not compatible« 
 overlaid or have an extra field in the database »last known 
 1.*-compatible version« to make it fall back to it.
