3. Bringing The Boot to Gecko project
was launched to enable the Open
Web as a platform for mobile devices.
We’re making innovation possible by
driving the development of new Web
standards.
5. Operators and developers write apps and
services for one platform and then rewrite
them for others.
!
Users who want to buy phones, e-readers
and game consoles from different
manufacturers often need to re-purchase
apps for each device.
7. Using HTML5 and the new Mozilla-proposed
standard APIs, developers everywhere will be
able to create amazing experiences and apps.
!
Developers will no longer need to learn and
develop against platform-specific native APIs.
9. OEMs and operators will be able to provide
content and services across their entire device
portfolio, regardless of OS.
!
And they will be able to customize user
experiences, manage app distribution and
retain customer attention, loyalty and billing
relationships.
11. Firefox OS produces an implementation of these
new Web standards to free mobile platforms from
the encumbrances of the rules and restrictions of
existing proprietary platforms.
15. Lower level operating system, consisting of a Linux
kernel and HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer).
!
Possibility to expose anything from the hardware
to Gecko.
25. The Boot to Gecko project is based entirely on
open standards and the source code is open and
accessible to all. Where open standards are
missing, we're working with standards bodies and
other vendors to create them.
