Mozilla plans to create a new mobile operating system (OS), aiming to use web technologies to deliver all applications and functions on phones and tablet devices.
The project, called “Boot to Gecko”, will use Mozilla’s Gecko engine from its Firefox browser as the foundation for a mobile OS. Mozilla plans to create web APIs [application programming interfaces] to handle mobile phone functions, such as SMS messaging, Bluetooth connectivity and even near-field communications (NFC) capabilities and, ultimately, create web applications equal to native mobile apps.
