Mozilla to take on mobile Web
I see hits @ google that go back to 2010, so maybe it is only news to me!
Mozilla Will Demo a Smart Phone OS This Year wrote:Here’s how the foundation describes B2G :
“Boot to Gecko is a project to build a[n] OS that runs HTML5, JavaScript and CSS directly on device hardware without the need for an intermediate OS layer. The system will include a rich user experience, new APIs that expose the power of modern mobile phones through simple JavaScript interfaces; a privilege model to safely and consistently deliver these capabilities to websites and apps with the user in control. Boot to Gecko leverages BrowserID, the Open Web app ecosystem and an identity and apps model that puts users and developers in control."
