Gusto din sumikat ni Firefox kaya pinakawalan nya na lang yong OS. simple saying firefox OS finally debuts.

Iwan ko kung ilan na pa yong sasali dito na nuisance candidate?

Below is the list of Mobile Phone OS
Apple iOS = FreeBSD Kernel(closed-source)
Windows 8 = NT Kernel (Windows Proprietary)
Android = Linux Kernel (Open-source)
Firefox = Linux Kernel (Open-source)
Ubuntu touch = Linux Kernel (Open-source)
Bada OS = Linux Kernel (discontinue)
Maemo 5 = Linux Kernel (discontinue)

Below is the link shows Ubuntu Touch beats Firefox OS to win best of MWC from CNET.

I still expecting Ubuntu touch kung kailan ito lalabas. I heard it Q4 2013 pa. Iba naman yong Ubuntu Edge project na may meron quota na 30 million para sa kanilang investment project.

and to add more, hindi rin siya bebenta dahil ZTE ang naglabas,di ko sinasabi na low quality phones ang ZTE phones dahil galing china siya(im aware na isa to sa largest cellphone manufacturers today)kasi kung sakaling premium brands ang naglabas nito pede pa sana

Meh. From the OS to the specs, this is another FAIL AT FIRST SIGHT product. My quad-core tab beats this piece of shit anytime of the day because my tab’s “proudly pinoy” and it comes with Android, the only OS you’ll need if you’re professional…hahahah!

Hahaha walang binatbat ang ibang OS sa Android lalo na yung Windows…hahaha mga basurang OS!

Oh sino gusto magpabili sa akin ng android device nang mapalitan na yang bulok nyong Windows, lol.

Windows users = losers
