Phones on Firefox OS will be available in June, in 5 countries

As already written on Habré, and more than once, Firefox OS is a mobile operating system designed to work with web applications and services. This OS, first of all, will work on budget devices. And the first such devices will go on sale in June of this year, in five countries.



These countries are Brazil, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Venezuela. By the end of the year, Firefox OS phones will appear in 11 more countries. As for the United States, in this country, such phones will go on sale only in 2014.

Developers wishing to create software for this platform have been asked to focus their efforts on creating web applications that can be run on the device as “native”. Users will add applications to themselves through the Mozilla marketplace, and it is clear that applications that are physically hosted on third-party servers will always be “up to date,” as they say. Those. You do not need to update anything on the phone itself.



Thanks to the latest web technologies, plus HTML5, some applications will be able to work without access to the Web, since the data necessary for operation can be stored on the device itself. But, of course, most applications will still need access to the Web. Now in many countries with access to the “mobile” Internet there are no problems, so this concept of work can be quite successful.
