Bing has launched an app for the Firefox Marketplace. As pointed out by The Next Web, Google doesn’t yet have an official app there.
Firefox OS is a mobile operating system “built entirely using open
web standards” (HTML5). It’s both an effort to reinvigorate the mobile
web and keep Firefox from falling into total mobile irrelevance.
The first Firefox OS phone is the Chinese-made ZTE Open. It’s selling for between $70 and $99 (unlocked) on eBay.
This low-end strategy could work well in developing countries and
provide an even lower-cost alternative to Android devices in those
markets.
While I’m skeptical of the near-term potential for Firefox OS in
North America and Western Europe it’s possible that the rock-bottom
pricing could drive adoption.
