Mozilla Corporation's Firefox after being one of the most popular web browser, just entered the race of mobile operating system with their recent announcement of Firefox O.S, they are following google's footsteps by making the O.S open source hence making it more easily accessible to a range of Mobile Phone manufacturing companies in the future, currently Mozilla is only offering two Developer Phones, the Keon and Peak.
Keon runs on a single core 1Ghz Qualcomm processor packs 512MB RAM, 4GB internal memory, 3 megapixel camera and 3.5" screen, however Peak runs on 1.2Ghz dual-core processor, offers the same memory as Keon but includes 4" screen, an 8 megapixel back camera and a 2 megapixel front camera. Keon and Peak, both of the phones are available on sale at "geeksphone.com" at $119 and $195 respectively although both of the phones were sold out in a matter of hours but they later reappeared on the website.
Firefox O.S already has several partners including names like, Facebook, Twitter, ebay, Electronic Arts, Disney, LG and Qualcomm also considering the fact the two developers phones were sold out in a few hours, there might be a future for Firefox O.S in the market which is now dominated by Google's Android and Apple's iOS.
