Mozilla Plans Mobile App Store
dkd903 writes "Mozilla wants to make it big in the Mobile world and has revealed its plans for a unique mobile app store in its annual report — 'The State of Mozilla,' which was released recently. Mozilla has already brought the desktop Firefox experience to mobile devices as the Fennec browser, which was initially launched for the Maemo platform on Nokia N900. Mozilla has designed a prototype of a mobile app store and plans to call it a 'Open Web App ecosystem.' The aim is to create an open app store platform that would consist of apps that can run on all mobile devices: — A 'Mobile Device Independent' App Store."
I have a N90, a N95, and an N800, etc. I loved being able to write apps on my laptop, and transfer them over to my hand held device . . . even though that I can't program myself out of a paper bag!
I loved flicking the N90 so much, that my girlfriend said: "Quit playing with it! You might break it!"

So this MeeGo stuff has me all curious . . . just wait, don't buy.

Sweeeeeet! Thank you!
My iPhone is jailbroken and unlocked.
When I got my first one, I was a loooong time Centennial Wireless customer and was very happy with their service. Very happy.
My son bought a new iPhone and gave me his 1st gen which I promptly popped my OLD Centennial SIM into (I had an old Nokia) then unlocked and jail broke it to work on Centennial. It worked like a charm though I had no wireless internet, never had it on the Nokia, never wanted it on the Nokia, it was too basic.
So I had internet in my house, McDonalds, etc.. Good enough for me.
My BFF dropped it and broke it though and I bought another one just like it and repeated it all over again. Everything still cool.
Then I got tired of the slowness of the 1st gen and bought a used 3GS in like new condition on ebay. Again, I jailbroke it and unlocked it with Spirit.
Still using the old Centennial / Nokia SIM. And still, no internet except via WIFI. Fine with me.
See, I have an awesome plan that they grandfathered me in on when AT&T (SUCKS) bought Centennial. For $29 a month I get 200 minutes a month outgoing and unlimited 24/7 incoming minutes. People can call and talk to me 24 hours a day and it doesn't cost me a cent. Why would I want to change that?
If I fess up to them that I have an iPhone they will force me into a new $100 a month plan that I do not want, can not afford and have no use for.
I do not need internet when I'm driving. If I need internet when I'm away from home I'll pull into a McDonalds and use their WIFI and have a burger and a diet coke in exchange. But pay $40 a month for a limited voice plan and another $40 a month for a VERY LIMITED internet plan, NO WAY.
They can KMA.
I love that my phone is jailbroken so that I can customize it in anyway I want. I'm not giving up my Tinkerbell theme for anyone, they can go to hell.
I'm still using 3.1.3 because I do not at all trust the new iOS4. I have heard they have a kill switch built into it to brick JB/UL'd phones.
I'm on Cydia however and I can not find the "SBSettingsAdBlockToggle" app.. :(
