The Firefox-OS, the Mozilla rings closed Internet

With its pioneering "Open» smartphones running on the standard Web technology, Mozilla believes their chances against Android and iOS are good.

The Mozilla, the maker of Firefox, once helped to break the Internet monopoly. Now, trying to do the same thing again.
On July 1, 2013, the Mozilla announced the first smartphones running the new OS-Firefox, its operating system, which will first be launched in countries such as Poland and Spain before they make a trip around the world.
Mozilla is calling these smartphones that run on Firefox OS, «devices with Open Web» and wants to launch a new way of development for mobile devices that includes Open Web standards instead of closed, proprietary -until now- approaches.
In other words, Mozilla aims to undermine the proprietary of Apple and Google duopoly of iPhone and Android, respectively, giving the manufacturers, developers and consumers another option that is directly related to the technologies that support the Internet.
And, in fact, he considers that he has an army of developers who will dedicate themselves to achieving the objective.

What is, however, an "Open Device Web»;

Despite some visual similarities, the OS Firefox's not like Apple's iOS and Android from Google. And of course, it looks much less with BlackBerry and Windows Phone of Microsoft. These platforms that run on operating system built with "natural" code specifically for this platform. It is characteristic that handles sizable chunk of the basic functions of a smartphone, but still exists in proprietary ecosystems. Therefore, all vying to attract the attention of developers to their platforms, with varying degrees of success.
On the part of Mozilla, the web is the operating system.
If you can write code to design and build a website, then you can write code to design and build an application for Firefox OS.
Says Head of steering technology Mozilla, by Brendan Eich, estimates the organization is that there are almost eight million developers Web, in the world. The number of developers all proprietary operating systems, the order of two or even less, into the hundreds of thousands.
There is absolutely no reason that the internet could be the first-class platform for mobile applications, Eich said the July 1, 2013, at a press conference in San Francisco where he announced two new smartphones with Firefox OS.

The secret is that there is no secret

Mozilla is facing the current duopoly of Android and iOS smartphones, while - much in the same way you saw the monopoly of Internet Explorer was the king of the Internet in the late 1990s.
And then, Eich was instrumental in dismantling the monopoly.
Do not forget, moreover, that he is the same man who discovered the coding language Javascript (which runs a little - well in most of the functions on the Internet) and helped build the Netscape browser.
Remember we are talking about the same man who sowed terror at Microsoft, who went too and lowered significantly the application of competition rules.
As you can see, the Eich knows ... something little about how to shatter walled gardens.
And do -and indeed very petychimena- with open, non-proprietary standards and Internet.
There is nothing about Firefox OS to be a secret. The Mozilla, during the two years it took to build the operating system, has been extremely open to the entire development process. This project began as a set of code called «Boot2Gecko» and eventually turned into a smartphone.
With Firefox as operating system, Mozilla does not play political games and advertising style, which features will have the operating system or when it will hit the market new smartphones˙ know, known toys that make giants of mobile phones, such as Apple and Samsung.
Using HTML5, the OS Firefox is built on Open application programming interfaces (APIs) intended to share with the world. If this means that parts of Firefox OS come to iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and even upstart upstart companies like Tizen or Jolla, never mind.
Given a world in which questions like "when it goes on sale the new iPhone;», is a very, very popular search term, transparency Mozilla's with OS Firefox is extremely refreshing.
However, Mozilla has no illusions that can reverse the climate of sympathy for Apple and Google, especially when it comes to smartphones. Instead, the Eich and Mozilla want to create opportunities for developers, for smartphone manufacturers to operators and, in the final and, for consumers.

The gift of transparency

What we hope to achieve is to give them the Open Internet and the ultimate expression,

said Eich.

Use my reputation, betting on open standards and yet, I still fierce.

Mozilla is launching the promotion of Firefox OS with 20 mobile carriers will release smartphones are all over the world. The Telefonica, the Spanish telecommunications company operating in Spain, Latin America and Asia, plans to bring your Firefox as operating system on devices throughout the area covered by the network, by the end of 2014.
These devices, which are extremely cheap smartphones, by today's standards, aimed at bringing closer novice users smartphone. Aims to bring even inexperienced users of the Web, closer to the Internet.
Mozilla is not going to measure the success of Firefox OS depending on the number of smartphones to be sold.
