They are targeting lower cost devices selling in developing countries. I'm not sure how they think using slower software on slower hardware is good idea.

- eliben 13y agoWhat is their business strategy?
- weavie 13y agoAh, I have dug a bit deeper. HTML 5 is probably the most accessible development language. XCode and Eclipse both require a fairly hefty (and expensive) development machine to be usable. Whereas HTML 5 can be developed on any machine with a text editor and a browser. Hell, you can even code quite happily directly on the device if necessary. Mozilla are targeting the developers of less wealthy nations with their choice of platform. Makes sense.
- asiekierka 13y agoI'm using a Geeksphone Peak right now, and it's VERY fast and responsive, especially with newer software. Same with the Keon, which contains a lot of the "target-level" hardware. As long as apps are made specifically for Gecko, it should be fine.
- technologeek 13y agoThe Peak is a monster in terms of performance GPU and CPU. I wanted to buy it, it is very cheap. However, it is out of stock on the official website ;( Do you have any other way to get one?
