I don't get why both can't co-exist at the same time. FF OS is ideal for the low-end market with a more light-weight OS that can run on cheaper devices. Perhap

Perhaps they should open a satellite office in a place like Kenya so that they can understand a tech-savvy local African market.
Then again, this is Mozilla, the company that tried to kill Thunderbird...
- sf_rob 11y agoI think that the issue is that people would rather have an Android device (with a healthy ecosystem), on specs that barely support it running Gingerbread than have a brand new Firefox OS device (which isn't bad, I had an early unit) with no history and a poor ecosystem. I've talked to lower middle class people in India about this and my understanding is they are fine with feature phones if they're trying to save money or a cheap Android if they want a full smartphone. The middle ground of Firefox OS does not have a good enough value proposition.
