Mozilla Developers Testing Mobile OS ⇥

Mozilla has been experimenting with an interesting idea called Boot 2 Gecko. Essentially, B2G (as it’s called) is a mobile operating system based on the Web, as opposed to what the project’s wiki calls “proprietary, single-vendor stacks”.

This is an interesting development, but one that I think will be a mistake, and probably won’t achieve mass-adoption. It’s also going to be much slower and much less engaging as a Gecko-based operating system than a native OS would be. Seems weak.
