I think not more than a year provided BiG manufactures uses this on their phone .. under 10k or USD ~200 is a good start.

The Firefox OS fully based on Cloud computing will have a FIGHT against Google Chrome OS.

At least security issues will be taken care off,by both OS's as per different articles and journals.

For us in India,Internet bandwidth will be a major issue to tinker and delve into these Cloud based OS's....

Firefox OS's main competition lies with Android, as both are open source.
How about the app store for Firefox OS? Is it there?

IMO, let all the OSs grow, we'll have more choices, and why forget Ubuntu Mobile OS ?
its open source too.

and android will dont have much effect since firefox is a baby now. :wink:
once it gets much app support and dev support, then it might be a tough competitor.

ZTE didn't even bother to clean their phone of fingerprints, see how the phone is dirty with fingerprints.
atleast at launch, they should've cleaned it. :rolleyes:

Ubuntu Mobile OS should be interesting but I don't expect FF OS to kick up some fuss.. :)
FF OS can't compete strong hold of android for few months...

Finally when OSes hit each other consumer is at benefit. :-D
