New mobile phone operating system-Mozilla Firefox OS

ollowing the Google and Apple, the war between the mobile operating system the addition of two participants.One died in the hands of Nokia again started megoo of. The other is the Mozilla Firefox OS.Although these two operating systems is currently no market share, but they are the future of Google and Apple's strong competitor.
Mozilla’s mission is to popularise web standards and open source software, but just creating alternative browser apps for iOS, Android and Windows moviles baratos is not going to do it.
Only Android rules allow Mozilla to offer a full mobile version of its browser anyway; Apple and Microsoft exercise stricter control over what capabilities third party apps can have. What’s more, although data is hard to come by, it’s clear only a small minority of smartphone owners ever switch from their default browser app.
So to stay relevant, Mozilla is creating its own mobile OS.
Like Android, Firefox Mobile OS, is based on Linux, the operating system that anyone can contribute to or adapt because the source code is free. Unlike Google’s leading mobile operating system, however, Firefox Mobile OS will not play host to “native apps” that are specially developed for it.
Instead, it will use the new web coding standard, HTML5, to allow developers to create apps that, in theory, could work on any operating system. Other smartphone(moviles libres baratos) operating systems can run web apps already, but they are typically less capable than native apps as they are unable to plug into the advanced software and hardware features. Mozilla says Firefox Mobile OS will be different.
“[It] unlocks many of the current limitations of web development on mobile, allowing HTML5 applications to access the underlying capabilities of a phone, previously only available to native applications,” it said.
That may make app creation simpler and so appeal to developers, although the crucial question of how they will get paid for their work remains open.
Mozilla has already won support for Firefox OS from another key constituency: mobile networks. This month it announced big names such as Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat, Sprint, and Telefónica were on board.
“The operators want there to be competition in smartphones,” explained Ian Fogg everbuying . “They don’t want a world where Apple and Google dominate everything.”
In the West, that is already the case, and given the financial mismatch, there is little chance of Mozilla matching the established players. But opportunities abound in the developing world, where cheap Android handsets are only now reaching the market, and Apple and Microsoft devices are attainable for only the very richest.
Mozilla is overt in its focus on this relatively untapped seam, boasting of the ability of its technology to “deliver compelling smartphone experiences at attainable prices”.
“As billions of users are expected to come online for the first time in the coming years, it is important to deliver a compelling smartphone experience that anyone can use,” said Gary Kovacs, Mozilla’s chief executive.
So while it might seem there is no space for yet another moviles baratos android competitor here, industry watchers are keenly interested in Mozilla’s progress.
“There’s a risk Android could become a monopolistic player in these developing markets,” said Ian Fogg. “RIM is still popular there but it has real problems.”
“Mozilla have decided they aren’t going to go head to head with iOS and Android here. They’ve decided the way they can compete in mobile is to jump to the next big thing which is these developing markets.”
“They might find the Firefox Mobile OS is really good enough to match the established players down the line, and then they’ll have the innovator’s dilemma.”
But that is some years away. The first Firefox Mobile OS handsets are due out in Brazil early next year.
From the operation of the operating system seems to combine the advantages of the android and IOS also have their own innovation.Reach a certain height have to see the later development of the market reaction.
