What do you mean? Seems like this was fundamentally Mozilla imposing their philosophy/faith in their web technology/platform on hardware partners rather than the other way around? (And I believe the article supports that interpretation).
- JohnBooty 10y agoYeah it's pretty difficult for me to conceive of a world where hardware vendors cared about OS implementation details like UI rendering strategies.
- pavlov 10y agoI meant the choice of low-end hardware. I feel like they could have been more successful in the ~$200 market where Nokia Lumia models did well for a while, but presumably the hardware partners didn't want to build those. And meanwhile engineering was set on a path that wouldn't work for $40 phones.
