Mozilla Takes Aim At A Global Duopoly With Firefox OS And The Open Web - Forbes

Administrator

I figure its time to haunt you with another phone post. The Moz phone is known outside the digerati now, so listen up troops and tak a look:

I have to say I'm interested in the Moz phone. The backstory of just how hard they worked on it was new to me. Now the real issue is will they stick to a webapp framework. If so they will have a huge number of already existing apps .. those that already run in HTML/CSS/JavaScript. It will do one other really fine thing as well, Responsive Design .. the stunt that lets you design for desktops down to phones or even watches.

OMG! Ars itself has a Moz critter in hand, with more explanations of how it works. It is built on top of an "Android derivative" so not only do webapps run on it as apps, Android too.

Now if it runs asm.js .. its a go!
