Firefox Gets Into the Smartphone Business

Author : FOX40 Web Desk

Extract : « Nonprofit company Mozilla is trying to shake up the typical closed app ecosystems Firefox OS. Built using open Web standards, it will appeal to the estimated 8 million Web developers who can jump right in and start creating HTML 5 apps for the phones.
There is no timeline for when the phone will come to the United States. For now, Mozilla is focusing on emerging markets such as Spain, Poland, Colombia, Venezuela and eventually Brazil, where an iPhone is prohibitively expensive for most people.
For many of the users, this will be the first smartphone they would purchase,” said Chris Lee, who heads the product team for Firefox OS. »
