지금 주요 플레이어들을 빠르게 파악해 보겠습니다. 저희는 Google의 Android, Apple의 iOS, 그리고 Microsoft의 Windows 휴대전화 — 그중 굵은 세 가지를 갖추고 있습니다. RIM의 블랙베리 OS를 여기에 추가해 보겠습니다. 이 모든 것을 더하면 매우 잔혹하고 냉혹한 모바일 시장이 됩니다.

Mozilla는 Firefox OS라는 자체적인 ���험적” 모바일 플랫폼을 개발하기로 결정하면서 상당한 자신감을 보이고 있습니다. 이 OS에 대한 기대치를 보여주는 스크린샷이 공개되었습니다.

Take a look below:

The whole OS is based on Linux and Gecko, and runs apps in HTML 5. The Foundation claims that it is faster, lighter and more open than Android. Personally it looks like a mix of Android and Meego. What do you guys think? Share your thoughts below.

This could be a competition to feature phones given its price point advantage. But to compete with Android and iOS? I don’t think so. Its got the looks of both iOS and Android but I just can’t sense the smartphone feel in here.

If you think this is already great, just wait for “UBUNTU Phone”

75% of the apps on the Market can be ported “daw” which is really really good.

Apps that are built using HTML 5 for iOS and Android are mostly based from their mobile webpage counterparts like Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Mail, blog apps (Engadget, Verge, etc.) so don’t expect your favorite apps, especially games to be ported to this OS immediately.

“I see the light at the end of the tunnel!!”

I also see some bit of iOS playing there.
I hope there will be a demo video of playing with this OS. :))
