Mozilla’s announcement of their new project Boot to Gecko (B2G) is certainly very ambitious, but their intention alone to create a truly open mobile platform that would leverage the web and its technologies is not only something to be very excited about, but should be wholeheartedly embraced by everyone who can see past the “ecosystem”-fad and its shackles.
Will it be easy? Absolutely not, and there is probably a large risk that something never comes out it. But I for one applaud them and completely support their decision, and genuinely hope that I at some point will have a reason to add B2G to my platform category list!
