Mozilla has announced a new experimental project called Boot to Gecko (B2G) with the aim of developing an operating system that emphasizes standards-based Web technologies. The initial focus will be on delivering a software environment for handheld devices such as smartphones.
Quote:
Mozilla's current tentative plan is to adopt a slim layer of existing code from the lower levels of the Android operating system for hardware enablement purposes and then build a completely custom user interface and application stack around Gecko, the Firefox HTML rendering engine. Android was chosen because it will theoretically offer compatibility with existing hardware, but Mozilla ultimately intends to use "as little of Android as possible." It will not use Android's Java-based environment and it will not support programming in native code.
so wait, is this going to be like a whole new OS on smart phones? If so what makes them think it'll be remotely successful? It'd be a waste of money. If people aren't using Android/iOS, they're using Blackberry.

True that, unless they have something really goddamn motherfucking awesome in their os that none of those others have... well then they might have a little chance.
