Dun, 02 Aug 2012Yes the 2% of the smartphone buyers that consider Winphones... more2% consider Windows intelligent because ONLY 2% actually go out and try it rather than just going by what they hear. If you watch videos of how the tablet is setup to function and how windows 8 is used, its by FAR the most advanced mobile operating system out there.
in a few years, there will be so many operating systems and so many OEM's that no one particular OS will stand to dominate. you can see that just with this mozilla OS. it looks like android to the avg person...

If it works, It will stay.
Hope that there are softwares available for a smooth and problem free swapping of OS:es on Androids phones.

s, 02 Aug 2012As a matter of fact it looks literally 95% like MIUI. Google it.I was just about to say the same thing... that's no bad thing... but still... something original would have been nice...

AnonD-63316, 02 Aug 2012Man, i'm in the smartphone business for 10 years, i could s... moresorry to burst you're bubble, but you couldn't be MORE wrong. Look at maemo, meego, microsoft, tizen, bada, symbian... they all have icons and quick launch/short cuts, but none of them look the same. This is so identical to android and iOS that people wont be able to tell that you're using something different.
This is called lack of creativity and fear of failing in this market.. so mozilla just took the "safe" way out by combing what already exists rather than innovating and designing soemthing new.
Look at Windows Phone 8, they have completely put a new twist on how apps are presented, how your multitasking is done, how apps open, how things are arranged in home screen, how things are updated. Thats wat you call intelligence, not this garbage.

Most will opt for well established OS unless there is something innovative & different in the new one...

So stop trolling and just wait and watch what mozilla is going to offer with this os and how it differs this os compared to others... No need to do blah blah blah at this early stage.. Let it get released first then make any comment and stop saying they have copied this and that and boom boom boom.. Every company copies something or many thing so not a big deal...

Most of you dont get it, this is a OS that is full html, this means you can make apps in html+javascript from the start, without needing anything complicated or some 3rd party api.
This means that any of the billion apps on websites can be ported over very easily to this. It could be a very interesting platform going forward.

Hmm, 02 Aug 2012Looks like an OS for $5 smartphones. Not nice.Actually it would be very nice. The cheaper the products, the better the competition, and better access to smartphone for people that don't afford an expensive Android or iPhone. Or, like Samsung/iPhone fanboys would say: you don't afford the top dog, you don't deserve to live!

Android and iOS included. So chill out, this is normal. That's why all our cars have 4 wheels, it's optimal. They don't build cars with 9 wheels, and still we don't cry that they are copying.

That is something that nobody did before, so yeah, it's a new technology. If it is better than other, we don't know yet, but it is surely something to look after. Imagine that the whole OS (almost) is build with HTML markup.
