Mozilla has announced that it plans to build a mobile OS. Why? The way it is described sounds like Chrome OS. But unlike that laughable idea, this one is aimed at smartphones & tablets rather than netbooks(remember those?).
Seriously, what are they thinking? It's called "Boot to Gecko" since that's the engine Firefox uses & turns it into an open source OS. Uh, doesn't that describe Android & Linux? Why is this needed? Well it isn't.
What I really think is that the Firefox people are so obsessed with the success of Google Chrome that they feel the need to copy it at all stages. That is why Firefox is now jumping version numbers so fast. A year and a half to launch Firefox 4 then move to 5 in 3 months? In 3 years we'll be using Firefox 20, which will really be Firefox 4.5 at most.
Maybe Mozilla should just call themselves a Linux distro & be done with it.
