Mozilla has announced it will soon start
launching Firefox OS-based devices in new
markets around the world.
Mozilla launched the first Firefox OS
smartphones the ZTE Open and Alcatel
One Touch Fire in July 2013. These devices
are available from Telefonica in Spain,
Colombia and Venezuela, as well as Deutsche
Telekom in Poland.
Mozilla did not give a definitive list of the new
markets where the Firefox OS phones will
launch, but it mentioned Greece, Hungary,
Serbia, Montenegro, Brazil and "three other
Latin America markets".
The new Firefox OS phones will have the
latest version of the operating system (1.1),
which brings performance improvements and
features such as MMS support. Existing
Firefox OS phones will get the upgrade to the
new version "soon."
As for Mozilla's strategy for the HTML5-based
Firefox OS platform, it hasn't changed much
the company still aims at newcomers to
the smartphone world, especially in the
emerging markets.
We continue to enhance Firefox OS to
deliver the best experience for the many
people around the world buying their first
smartphones. We are looking forward to
seeing the response to the next round of
Firefox OS launches, said Jay Sullivan, Mozilla
Chief Operating Officer.
