It’s not at all surprising that open-source champion Mozilla has just announced a partnership which will bring about a platform to end all platforms. Teaming up with telecommunications operator, Telefónica, the pair aim to create a more open Web experience that users can take with them on the go. Mozilla’s Open Web Devices (OWD) aims to provide a consistent experience across platforms, at a fraction of the cost for the end-user, in comparison to currently available smartphone operating systems. The platform is a part of Mozilla’s Boot to Gecko project, which was first announced last July. Using only Web-based technology, which capitalizes on the openness of HTML5, Mozilla is bringing smartphone features at mass market prices.
