I have two Geeksphone Keons in here and I've been speaking at events about Firefox OS. I develop mobile apps and web for both Android and iOS and I find that developing for Firefox OS is very refreshing. The OS gets out of your way and you'

I don't know if it is dead or not but I am sure it does not include the cocoa framework. IIRC GNUStep has application kit and foundation kit and other framework for UI but I am positive it is not cocoa. It always had great potential but unl

I have all his SF novels. I think he is the most original and refreshing author I've seen in the past decade. I always looked forward for those thrilling weeks after he released a new book. It was one of the best parts of a year for me. Mr

QT is a very popular cross-platform framework. Its mostly used in Linux and other POSIX operating systems (but it also available for Windows and other non-POSIX guys). QT is not like phonegap in the sense that is both a high level and low l

Hi Matthews, I think that the main idea is that your app should be portable between Firefox OS and other mobile web browsers such as Opera Beta and Chrome for Android. Gaia is not meant to be run under another browser. I think as other vend

I would like a record/replay feature for AJAX requests or at least an interface where I could easily assemble a request as if it was sent from the current app. A possible "exporter" for the changes you made on the current web page would hel

Mark, Yep, should have used switch. But in the article I say that code is horrible and served a single purpose rsrsrsrs. I will post the source on github or something similar.

Err... speaking as someone who has two Firefox OS Developer Devices in front of him right now, I can tell you that it is indeed very innovative. And so is Firefox for Android (specially when using the Aurora channel). What you seem to be co

Some people on this thread are completely missing the point of Firefox OS. Its about standards and making it work cross-platform with no lock-in about vendors. Last week, I spent some days on a hackathon to promote Firefox OS app developmen

I just went to a Firefox OS App Day yesterday here in Brazil. I was able to play with a test device and try out some of the WebAPI stuff and I must tell you it is very refreshing to see a system perform so well on such simple phones. You ha

I use WebOS in two devices (a pre2 and a touchpad) every day and am pretty happy about it. I think Enyo rocks and is available everywhere and that WebOS is more user friendly than iOS and Android. Now, how does that compares to GNU Hurd?
