Firefox Marketplace : The Era of Firefox OS has Began

Firefox OS phones are launched, though not worldwide but it is a matter of time that they are launched across the globe. The support they are getting from the phone manufactures is awesome and people really want to see some new OS coming which can take them away from the regular Android and iOS.

Before the public launch later this year, Mozilla will be opening the Marketplace for user testing. And this is how it will look.

Using open Web standards and Mozilla-designed APIs, great app experiences can be delivered across multiple platforms, devices and operating systems — closing the gap between Web and native apps for the first time.Using open Web standards and Mozilla-designed APIs, great app experiences can be delivered across multiple platforms, devices and operating systems — closing the gap between Web and native apps for the first time.

There seems to be 1148 apps as of now in the store which will keep on increasing as the time passes on and the open web standards might make it the biggest marketplace.

If you are a App developer , you can go and submit you own App at https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/submit/

The first impression i would say is good and lets see how things turn out in this ever competitive market.

Firefox OS: Telefónica, Mozilla and ZTE to launch Firefox OS in Spain on July 2

Telefónica, Mozilla and ZTE today announced the world’s first commercial launch of Firefox OS with the ZTE Open available at Movistar stores from 2 July priced at €69 (inc. VAT), including €30 for prepaid customers and the option of zero interest financing for post pay customers.

The launch marks a significant moment for the mobile phone industry with consumers able for the first time to buy a smartphone based entirely on open web standards. Firefox OS frees consumers and developers from the constraints of existing closed ecosystems by using the web as the platform for all functionality and applications.

Firefox OS features a revolutionary new search capability that allows the device to adapt to the user’s changing needs and is only built into Firefox OS. Swipe to the right from the home screen and enter a search term and the phone will customize itself to that search. For example, search for an artist and get results to buy songs, watch music videos, buy concert tickets and even listen to them instantly without having to download and install any apps.

The first looks of Firefox OS looks great and hope we get one in our hands soon. The Apps Market place will play the key role though for the widespread of the phone.
