Boot to Gecko: Mozilla enters the battle of OS mobiles

Mozilla has come to play a spoiler on the market with its mobile OS to boot Gecko oriented Web Apps.

War of the mobile operating system sees a newcomer to join in 2012. This is Boot to the Mozilla Foundation's Gecko. "B2G" for short, will be based on proven web technologies as the foundation "believes that the Web can dethrone the development of proprietary applications with HTML5." Indeed, for the proponent, Andreas Gal, also drive PDF.js developer, an application written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript can access the phone module, the manager of SMS, the vibrator, with the camera, Bluetooth, the NFC chip, etc..

Ideas for user interface to boot Gecko

A functional demo version of Boot to Gecko could be unveiled early next year by Mozilla and is already being tested on smartphones of the development team. A concept of graphical user interface (Gaia) is also being studied so that the user has an ergonomic design and an optimal mobile experience and multimedia.

The Mozilla Foundation has more to do to finalize its mobile OS, but the hard part will surely push to Gecko Boot manufacturers and phone companies that will have to find a financial interest. What could be the case if the system is offered. For more information on this project, please visit the official Wiki created by Mozilla.
