Firefox Gets Into the Smartphone Business

Author : FOX40 Web Desk

Date : July 2^nd, 2013.

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. »

The Tablet or Smartphone Becomes a Tutor for the Budding Artist

Author : Kit Eaton

Date : June 5^th, 2013.

Extract : « How to Draw is a good app for learning basic skills, and is free for iOS and Android.

Its Step by Step section features the main drawing lessons, each of which is based on copying simple lines that make up a cartoonish drawing of an object like a turtle or a coffee mug. The app shows each line in turn, then you draw on the screen with a finger to copy it. More guide lines appear, until the image is complete.

The app has tools to add color to the image, or it can stay as a pencil-like sketch.

The app is aimed more at children, given the sample images and its Coloring section, which looks a lot like a digital coloring book. It starts with a limited number of sample images; more images require an in-app payment. Access to all of them costs $5.99 for the iOS edition »
