Firefox rolls down its open source mobile OS for developers all over

GANDHINAGAR, India - July 20, 2013 - PRLog -- The new “open Web devices” are the first of Firefox enabled Smartphones that ushers a new way of mobile device development. The new approach embraces the open-Web standards as against the closed-proprietary approaches we have had till now.

The current mobile OS platforms run on “native code” specific to their standards. Mozilla, however, is of the view that if developers have the opportunity to write codes to build a website, this should also apply to mobile platforms and apps. Brendan Eich, the chief technology officer at Mozilla says that there are over eight million web developers in the world but the number of propriety mobile app developers count within hundreds of thousands. The Firefox OS uses HTML 5 API and is intended to be shared with the world, even if it means that Firefox OS portions can end up in android, iOS, Windows Phones, Blackberry OS, Jolla or even Tizen.

Because of it architectural design, the Firefox OS requires much lesser resources and this would mean a faster performance on low end phones, longer battery life and cheaper hardware. Since HTML 5 is a native platform, the OS never gets obsolete and the latest app versions will run smoothly on old hardware. The very openness of the platform and without any restriction on marketplace, the Firefox OS is indeed a suitable competitor as a mobile app development platform along with the ruling Android and iOS.
