Mozilla is preparing a special mobile device operating system. Although apparently similar to the Chrome OS, but this time the target market is smartphones and tablets.
Project to create this new operating system Boot To Gecko or B2G abbreviated. Web-based operating system open source is about the same idea conceived by the operating system Google Chrome.
However, if Chrome OS made for notebook, B2G this project will focus on smart phones and tablets. As coach said Andreas Gal Mozilla, citing eWeek. Gecko project name is taken from the Mozilla rendering engine. Mozilla components are built with Android B2G and Gecko as its core technology.
Mike Shaver, one of the main developers of this project, said Android is only used to a minimum. Android kernel and drivers say that only a starting point. This paved the Mozilla project is expected to attend the help and advice of many developers in the world. They will cooperate in the scheme of a typical open to the open source community.
Of course, Mozilla takes time to compete with the operating system Chrome. Google just took two years to achieve the expected results, and now Chrome OS is still growing well.
