Mozilla has taken the decision to compete in the market for mobile operating systems, as it has announced the release of Firefox OS is an operating system for low-end smartphones.
Firefox OS will be a new ecosystem for smart phones based on HTML5
and built entirely on web standards, which promote the development of
applications that enrich the platform and make it attractive to get as
many people as possible.
During the conference call Digital developed in London, Matthew Key, the chief executive of Telefonica O2 Europe, called on other networks to join them and their global partners in order to give the project a competitive scale OS Firefox.
'The first mobile phone price is below $ 100 and will be released before the first quarter of next year in Brazil. We can produce the same experience in the Android cheaper, or a better experience at the same price, 'were his words.
At another point in the conference, Telefonica also said the frustrations users have Google's OS to be so fragmented, and the fact that it is not easy, sometimes even impossible, to upgrade to the latest version of Android software.
Finally, it should be noted that many analysts think Firefox OS, which they consider an operating system died since their arrival, and that Telefonica is also noticed how difficult it will be to strong to a new platform in a market with competitors well positioned as IOS and Android. 'We do not underestimate the size of the task, "said Key in this regard. 'There have been many new operating systems that began and most have failed.'
