If only we could harness cynicism to power our cities!
There isn't room for a third platform. Android and iOS can force developers to use Java or Objective-C through sheer numbers, but no other platform has that sway. If you look at the market today, every single player is pushing to make HTML5 a first-class target for application development: Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, RIM, Canonical, etc. Apple's original plan for the iPhone was only Web apps.
The Web, in all of its glorious kludgyness, is going to win on mobile the same way it did on the desktop. Firefox OS is just one small part of that overwhelming trend.
