It seems that the all-powerful Android and iOS has left them a new competitor in the market of operating systems for mobile phones. And is that Mozilla has announced it is developing a project called Boot to Gecko and B2G, with which they seek to develop an OS for mobile devices, tablets and smartphones.
According to the guys from the browser the current mobile landscape is too fragmented, with a terrible lack of communication and compatibility between the different platforms, something true.
His idea is creating a web OS that allows use of quick and easy with any smartphone. That Yes, you do not expect this out tomorrow and that the Boot project Gecko is still at a very early stage; are still deciding which is the best technology to use, although it seems that Mozilla will use part of the source code for Android to make this system operational.
It is rather clear that the new operating system Mozilla not sweep or they will remove a large market share to its main competitors but is quite interesting the idea of a web operating system that is feasible to use it on any device and which also allows to interact to a mobile phone with Android with an iPhone or a mobile phone that operates under the Windows Phone 7 platform.
