Early in MWC, Firefox OS has met us, but not until last month, the first Firefox OS tablet is unveiled by Mozilla and Foxconn in Computex 2013.
Firefox OS tablet targets low-end market with a competitive price. Taking into consideration the cross-platform advantages brought by open source, Firefox OS get a lot interest from tablet vendors.
FIH grab the opportunity and released the first prototype tablet with Firefox OS. However, they did not disclose the OEM of this model.
In addition to tablet, Mozilla and Foxcoon also signed a co-operation program, which prosimed a joint development of at least five new electronic devices, including tablet PCs, smart televisions or related product. However, these new electronic devices will debut in Latin America and Europe even though Foxconn bases its manufacturing in China.
In fact, as early as this year’s MWC we have learned that Mozilla had established cooperation with LG, ZTE, Huawei and other big manufacturers, to develop and promote tablet with Firefox OS. It seems that Mozilla Corporation is entering the tablet market with great determination.
