  It is not compared to Tessel. It is only described as "sounds a bit like the Tessel microcontroller". I don't think there's much difference for the intended audience (JavaScript developers) how the code is compiled and run. If anything, you would be using higher-level and familiar APIs with Firefox OS. E.g.: how would you upload an image from the camera over 3G with Tessel / Firefox OS? As long as the thing can run on a battery for 1 month everything is OK. I am not sure Gonzo project has already reached that point, but from my own experience with a Firefox OS phone I believe it could be possible. What I like is that a FFOS phone comes with a battery included and at a lower price than Tessel components (Tessel+Camera+3G would cost you 185$ without a battery).
