Here comes
another OS for smartphones to compete IOS, Android, Windows 8 and Blackberry
OS. Is this a game changer? Let’s see the details
There is
something interesting about this OS though the news did not excite me being a
hardcore Android fan and user. Firefox OS is a Linux based open source OS developed
by Mozilla that can integrate HTML 5 applications directly with hardware using JavaScript.
The OS and apps are fully built based on the powerful features of HTML 5.
The
concept of the OS is similar to Google Chromebook, treating website as apps,
runs without native code. Also similar to Chrome OS, Firefox is a web browser
running top of Linux.
HTML 5
Now the
question comes about HTML 5. Is it powerful enough to replace Java or C++ and
build entire mobile eco system? There was news about Facebook founder Mark
Zuckerberg’s comment about HTML 5, that it is not ready and Firefox made a big
mistake by choosing HTML 5. HTML 5 developers took this challenge and created
an app called Fastbook, which was extremely faster than IOS and Andropid
versions of Facebook native app.
Have a look at the video - http://vimeo.com/55486684. One thing which
stopped me developing android app was Java and HTML 5 is a good start to create
some since it’s extremely simple.
Architecture
Different
layers of Firefox OS are
Gonk: -
Middleware, which contains Linux kernel + Software Libraries + Hardware
abstraction Layer à Runs on top of mobile chipset and
drivers
Gecko: - Application
runtime, which implements HTML 5 + CSS + JavaScript
Gaia: -
User interface which includes Home screen + Application launcher
Devices
Sony has shown
the guts to experiment with Firefox OS and launched Experia E for developers.
Also the 1st smartphone should be released by July 2013, first in South Africa
Issues
Security
will be a main concern since there is no native code and hackers started
targeting smartphones these days.
The End
So, is
this a game changer? I don’t think so at this point of time. Even though HTML 5
is good, not sure if it can create all apps available in Android, IOS and
Windows 8. Anyway, it’s good as a develop to create few apps and explore the
smartphone development
