GeeksPhone Keon is one of the two first developer preview devices specifically designed for Firefox OS. Let's take a peek at what Keon and Firefox OS has to offer by reading our first impressions below. GeeksPhone is a Spanish start-up company and producer of smartphones that was founded in early 2009 and used to make Android phones. Their most recent projects are the Developer Preview smartphones for Mozilla's Firefox OS, namely the Keon and the Peak. Although small, it's one of the nicely-built smartphones we've encountered. Running the whole show for the Keon is Mozilla's Firefox OS which is built entirely using open web standards, where HTML5 apps can do "phone things" like make the phone vibrate, make a phone call or send a text message. Basic smartphone functions are already working though like phone and texting capabilities, WiFi, mobile data, and camera functions. Even if it's just running a Developer Preview version on a not so beefy hardware the Firefox OS feels snappy and relatively smooth, so everything looks promising indeed.
