Spiria (formerly Innobec) at the MWC - Firefox OS, a promising OS

February 26, 2014.

We have noticed at the MWC that a new operating system is making news: Firefox OS. It is similar in many ways to Android. The major potential advantage is that it is based on HTML 5 and local JavaScript, with several functions for notifications, accelerometers, etc. The new operating system is also based on HTML 5 and local JavaScript.
