Mozilla will be soon competing in the OS market as they are going to
release the Firefox OS next year. Alcatel and ZTE will be going to be
releasing some of the very first Firefox OS
on their devices and will be targeting it to the middle income group.
Codenamed Boot to Gecko, the OS operates on HTML 5 and they are all set
to take some market share from the iOS and the Android. The core concept
behind using HTML 5 is to use open web standards and allow web apps to
make full use of the device’s hardware for better performing
applications.
The Mozilla team is very enthusiastic about their OS
and they claim that’s it will be an operating with everything in it and
that it will be simply amazing. Users will have features such as
contact dialing, messaging, web browsing, gaming, video viewing and
transfer of media through the popular bumping technique and a lot more
as developers start getting involved with HTML 5. However, until the OS
is actually deployed on a device we cannot be sure how it will function,
but till that time comes Mozilla has made builds that can be tested on
PC, Linux and Mac.
Although these builds are made for developers to test their apps normal users can install it just to try it out. However, the process is quite lengthy and is not that simple like installing a fresh copy of windows or anything like that. If you are a developer and are keen on wanting to develop apps for the Firefox OS then you can go ahead and heck out this detailed tutorial on how to set up the Firefox OS on your desktop from here.
