The arrival date of the operating system is confirmed Firefox OS to Spain in June. Our country is part of a group of 5 states that will see the arrival of Mozilla's open source project for mobile telephony. Venezuela will also be in that group that closes with Brazil, Portugal and Poland. The news has jumped at a technology conference in which the president of the company Gary Kovacs has made this announcement and has affirmed that other countries will join at the end of the year as part of the expansion process whose milestone would be an arrival in the important market of United States in 2014.
In this way, the deadlines that the company set with the press in front of the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona are met, where together with their partners in the operator sector they drew up a calendar. Telefónica is a main player in this strategy. There it was learned that in Spain the first device with Firefox OS to appear would be manufactured by Geekphone and that it would be mainly intended for developers. That phone had very modest specifications in line with the line that the company is going to follow of providing cheap models with a starting price of 80 euros whose first objective is the emerging countries, especially in South America.
In reality, devices with Mozilla software do not require great potential to function satisfactorily. its open environment is based on HTML5, something that makes it really light and easy to move. Another added advantage is that developers will have it very easy since they will be able to make applications compatible with other platforms, although this point is controversial since until now the native code has worked faster in the two main OS on the market: iOS and Android.
In any case, in its premiere it will have the support of companies such as Facebook, Twitter, MTV, EA Sports or Disney, whose applications will be available from the start.
