I like the idea. I AM confused though.
Currently Fx OS doesn't provide a decent (imap) mail client and seems to have issues with services/background stuff (think.. IM client).
If things like the ones described in the post are the goal (media server, low level hardware access), does that mean modifications to the core system? Is - and that's my real question - the lack of the mentioned features merely "not yet written" vs "impossible to do right now and blocking on core/system changes"?
- zbraniecki 12y agoit's definitely in the not yet written category. Background services is something hard to design right and we don't think any of the other mobile operating systems got it right (think: battery, data plan drain, privacy, security, user control). There are multiple ideas on how to approach that as more and more systems in FxOS would benefit from it (background music player, IM, various synchronization services), and I expect us to come with first approach relatively soon.
