Mozilla Teams Up With Foxconn; Tablet On the Way?

Posted by timothy on from the iceweasel-devices-will-be-gnu-licensed-instead dept.

The Register is one of several outlets reporting (based on a Reuters report) that Mozilla is working with Foxconn on a mobile device and "plans to unveil it at an event next week." Firefox OS is already running on other makers' phones; CNET speculates that this new device may be a tablet, which matches the Register's "insider" information.

    Eh? Firefox actually uses the least memory of all browsers.

    I know you were being clever, but that is a million times better than the android situation where the manufacturers never release an update, or release one at most.

    I would welcome a rolling release mobile OS as long as it is small and fast. I wish it was pure Linux like my n900, but I will settle for the open sourcy goodness of Mozilla. The release can't come soon enough for me.
