Firefox OS




Before 10 years no one ever thought about operating system for mobile phones. But later Apple created iPhone and it had iOS ,then market leader Android come into picture and it truly over shadow all its competitors. Looking at the scenario, Microsoft also made its mobile OS and now its time for peoples favorite Foxy!! 

Mozilla Firefox is coming with their new OS. Mozilla is giving it free because it is non profit organization. They introduced this OS in Mobile World Congress.

Firefox has deal with four manufacturer companies: LG , Alcatel, ZTE and spanish company Telephonica. These Firefox OS phones are not high end phones but surely special because of their OS. This OS contain all the major apps like maps,facebook,calendar,twitter,youtube.,etc.

If we look at current market then we can see that 85% market is shared by Android and iOS, the rest 15% is shared by BlackBerry and Windows phones. And because of the firefox OS is based on HTML5,they have bright chances to get 3rd place. Reason behind this is there are millions of HTML5 developers in the world with compare to Android and iOS and developing applications with HTML5 is much easy and cheap with compare to others.

It will be true early that how far this OS will go, but at this point at least for 2-3 years Android and iOS don't have any big competition but performance,open source and affordability of this OS will have bright chances to make difference.Good luck to team Mozilla!!!
