"The Firefox Mozilla has taken a step to develop an all new OS for mobile platforms. This internet browser giant has launched a Boot 2 Gecko(B2G) project. Similar to Firefox B2G is also an open source project which aims to clean up mobile fragmentation."

Clean up mobile fragmentation by introducing a new, incompatible (it won't run Android apps) OS? Great job, Mozilla.

And Firefox on Android, while handy, is a pig.

I can't even any point in Google's Chrome OS because you might as well be holding a house brick if you ever lose a web connection, and if this just works as an Android front end still running Android apps then that's fine, but if not why would anyone ever want to use this.
