Mozilla's Ignite and the future of Firefox OS
1All phones we have seen so far from various manufacturers featuring Mozilla’s Firefox OS has been aimed at the ultra low budget segment. But this is going to change in the near future as Mozilla CEO Chris Beard said in an email sent out to CNET “We will build phones and connected devices that people want to buy because of the experience, not simply the price”. The company is pursuing a new strategy called Ignite, which will focus on phones with compelling features and hardware rather than a lower price tag.
Mozilla has set out some goals in order to make the Ignite program a success. First of all it wants to improve the user experience and it is willing to do that even if it comes at a higher price tag to the consumer. The company will focus on achieving meaningful and significant success in whichever segment they cater to before jumping to another segment. While Mozilla will continue to develop its OS on the web platform, it will try to bridge the app ecosystem gap by implementing better Android app capabilities.
