Firefox OS is an open mobile operating system, which is
built based on the FireFox browser. FireFox OS built the necessary applications
such as Facebook, Twitter network, hosting services, weather software with
popular games such as Cut the Rope or Electronic Arts game, Disney Games.
Mozilla also introduced the Marketplace application store
technology users FireFox, a software store similar to Google Play Android or
iOS Apps Store.
Accordingly, most of the applications are running on the web
and this is an advantage in this application is compatible with other
smartphones.
FireFox web browser using Mozilla's computer had achieved
much success but before the explosion of mobile technologies FireFox become
difficult competition especially when it is not licensed by Apple to run on
the iOS platform also on the open source Android platform FireFox is limited
pretty much by the binding.
Before such a situation, Mozilla had to build an operating
system for FireFox. The study began in 2011 and was finally introduced.
Mozilla
event officially entered the war open-source mobile platform has surprised many
people by main rival FireFox OS will be Android.
However, it is very difficult to say that FireFox OS does
not make a story. First this was a completely free platform, similar to
Android. Monday, FireFox OS can run well on low hardware devices, while Android
is processed slow or even can't work in these devices.
Notably, FireFox next OS is an open source platform.
Developers can edit arbitrary, provided that may help your application or
service can be operated smoothly. If compared with the closed operating system
is designed, it is clear that FireFox OS has a superior strength.
Also, FireFox OS also promises by written based on HTML 5 so
developers easily build applications for the mobile operating system. It is
also an advantage of the platform FireFox.
Another notable point is that Mozilla says it has persuaded
its 18 networks and 4 support for FireFox mobile OS. Although, technology
analysts say as if that was not enough to beat the power of Google Android and
Apple iOS, but at least make sure FireFox OS not overshadowed before the
official hand users.
Even in the early days of the new platform launch of
Mozilla a number of technology companies has introduced the first product run
FireFox OS as Alcatel One Touch Fire, ZTE Open and most recently as a model
Geeksphone Peak.
The introduction of the new platform smartphones has prompted
technological and user excitement.
Starting this summer, the first smartphone running FireFox
OS Alcatel, ZTE, LG and Huawei be sold through America Moovil, China Unicom,
Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat, Hutchison Three Group, KDDI, KT, MegaFon, Qtel,
SingTel, Smart, Sprint, Telecom Italia Group, Telefonica, Telenor, Telstra, TMN
and VimpelCom.
However, more prominent in the number of technology
companies and is promising to march into the mobile market with Mozilla FireFox
platform, Sony. Page technology Slash Gear on 26/2, said the Japanese
electronics company announced it would introduce to the market the mobile
devices using open source operating systems FireFox in 2014.
Bob Ishida, Deputy CEO of Sony said that its engineers are
working with with Mozilla technology companies to develop "one or more
device run FireFox platforms".
In the context of South Korea's Samsung Electronics has
publicly stated that there is no interest in open source operating systems
FireFox because there must concentrate to develop Tizen platform the Sony is a
chance to dominate segment smartphone running FireFox platforms OS and a real
competitor of Sony when it only electronics company LG.
However, according to analysts, way ahead of Firefox OS is
not flat, easy go. According to estimates by analyst firm Gartner as of Q4 /
2012 past rival Android platform is said to be in direct competition with the
Firefox OS coming time accounted for 70% of global smartphone market share while iOS holding 21%.
That is not to say that phones running the Android or iOS
platform are still attractive to users. Many technology companies have had to
give up playing pity when facing fierce competition from the two platforms.
Thus, to prevail, FireFox OS needs to attract more consumers as well as further
application development.
