Quoting:Even Android evidently can't go as low as Firefox OS though OEMs are certainly trying (don't forget, Android licensees have to pay Microsoft to use Android).http://wpnow.net/2012/07/03/mozilla-enters-the-smartphone-wa... http://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/07/02/firefox-mobile-os/ http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-04/telefonica-bids-to-... http://www.zdnet.com/firefox-os-photo-revealed-by-mozilla-ev... http://www.bgr.com/2012/07/02/mozilla-firefox-os-release-dat... |

Running one's own apps on Firefox OS would take no more than having ones own website, and coding HTML 5 "apps". Third party stuff on FF OS would be a doddle, so too would malicious websites. But all in all I think it beats having to code to Googles API for Android or Windows Phone, and getting past Apples gatekeepers. I think FF OS really frees up the Mobile OS ecosystem in much the same way the net has already done so. There are I think huge possibilities for this, that I can't even imagine just yet. It's a completely, or at least potentially so, an open ecosystem. The handset players may attempt to lock it down with proxies and such, but in the end I think the cats out of the bag. |
