Spain: Smartphones: Mozilla Shows Off First Two Firefox OS Phones, For Developers Only - by Carl Franzen

Mozilla, the company best known for its Firefox Web browser, on Tuesday finally unveiled the design of the first two smartphones that will run its upcoming Firefox mobile operating system (Firefox OS).

Named “Keon” and “Peak,” the two smartphones are created by a Spanish mobile phone company called Geeksphone and will debut in Europe and Latin America in “the first half of 2013,” according statements a Mozilla spokesperson provided to TPM. But they’re not going to be sold on the mass market. Instead, Mozilla and Geeksphone are restricting them to software developers who want to build apps for Mozilla’s new Firefox OS, a Web-based platform that aims to be even more “open source,” and thus more permissive and flexible for development, than Google’s own Android operating system.
