So the mobile phone OS is a Firefox issue or a specific model for the application developers, not for regular users.
Mozilla also has a Spanish holding company, Geeksphone, to develop and distribute Firefox-based mobile OS specifically for the application developer (developer preview). No half-hearted, set up two phone models Mozilla developer preview.
Quoted from ArsTechnica, Wednesday (23/01/2013), the first device to be prepared has a code name Keon. This one device has the hardware specs are not too high.
Chances are, Mozilla wants to show that his own mobile operating system to run on low-end phones. This also confirms that developers can create applications based on Firefox OS for devices with low-end specs though.
A device that is equipped with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm S1, 512MB RAM, 3.5-inch HVGA screen, 3 megapixel camera, and a 1580mAh battery.
Second device has a specification that is much more powerful than Keon. This phone has a code name Peak.
Specifications Peak is equivalent to high-end phones available in the market today. S4 Snapdragon processor using 1.2 GHz from Qualcomm, a 4.3-inch qHD (960 x 540 pixels) IPS type, 512MB RAM, an 8 megapixel camera on the back, a 2 megapixel camera on the front, and a 1800mAh battery.
Mozilla promises to bring this device in February 2013. Unfortunately, information about prices and how to get these phones, have not been disclosed by Mozilla.
Before the two phones are present, there are several ways that can be done by the developer to try out the application. They can use a browser-based OS or an application simulator Firefox Firefox Marketplace for Android.
The developers are also able to flash ROM Android devices with the latest version of Firefox OS.
Firefox OS is a new mobile operating system being developed by Mozilla. OS is based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In addition, Firefox OS also expected to be a competitor to Android and iOS are already dominating the market first.
