Mozilla Firefox OS (Boot2Gecko)

Foreword

We all want to be creators & build
a thing that makes it easier for others to code.

We don't even follow up any longer if they are used or not,
the concept of having built them makes us already feel great.

Mozilla Firefox OS

Building a complete, standalone operating system
for the open web.
The web is the platform; making apps First Class Citizens.
The framework for the Open Web Device platform was introduced at the Mobile World Congress last Feb 2012
in Barcelona, Spain.

Mozilla Firefox OS vs the Chrome OS

Firefox OS is aiming at mobile & tablet devices, rather than notebooks (or event netbooks)
Firefox OS tries to expose all device capabilities like phone dialers, that can be built with Web APIs

#FirefoxOS #MozillaPH

Why Choose Firefox OS?

According to Telefonica:"Firefox OS phones will be 10 times cheaper than an iPhone."
Firefox OS' architecture eliminates the need for apps to be built on platform-specific native API's.

Interface flexibility

How to play with Firefox OS…

Run GAIA in Firefox Nightly (simplest way)
Use a desktop simulator (OSX / Linux)
Build your own device (very hard indeed)
