Hi, I'm Jay Sullivan from Mozilla and I'm here to talk about Firefox OS.
Firefox OS is the new free mobile operating system from Mozilla.
It's built with web technologies like HTML 5
and built on web principles as openness and freedom for all to innovate.
So I'm going to give you a little demo of Firefox OS,
tell you a little bit about who we're working with and how we're working together.
Let's take a look. I'll show you a few devices.
This one's made by TCL Alcatel
and here's another one in white.
And we've also got one here from ZTE, it's a blue device.
So, yeah, you'll see we're going to show the Firefox brand and colors.
It's going to be a lot of fun to interact with this hardware.
So let's do a demo. I've also got another phone here made by a company called Geeksphone in Spain.
They've built some of the developer phones that developers have been using.
Ok, so what you're going to see is everything a user would expect in a great smartphone experience.
I'm going to show you how developers can use HTML 5 to build amazing things
and also show you something new that really breaks down the barrier
between the web and apps to give users a great, a great new experience.
So this is the TCL Alcatel phone running Firefox OS.
So, we're going to unlock the phone.
And what you'll see immediately is you've got your telephone, you've got your sms,
you can get on the web with Firefox and we have Facebook bundled with the device.
Now, you can swipe over and you'll see a bunch of my commonly used applications.
Some of these are pre-installed
and some of these I downloaded from the Firefox marketplace.
So let's take a look at some of the basics.
I've got the Firefox Marketplace, we have email client of course.
Let's pull out the contacts.
So what you'll see is that we've embedded social deeply into this device,
because as people get online,
I'm sure they want to call and send each other text messages,
but they're also deeply involved with Facebook and Twitter and other social applications.
So what you'll see is, you know, I've been able to import my Facebook contacts
so that associates a picture with every contact,
and in addition to, you know, simply making a phone call, which I can do,
I can also go ahead and post on someone's wall or send him a Facebook message.
So, now I'm in airplane mode, I'm going to unlock the phone.
Anyway, a lot of things that I want to do when I'm on the go,
whether it's getting to my music
or browse through my albums there,
or looking at my family photos, I can do those things
even though I am disconnected, so that's really important.
So what I'm going to show you is something we're building
that really breaks down the walls between the web and apps.
The web is great because it gives you instant access to all the information out there
and apps are great because they have a beautiful, easy-to-use form factor.
So we looked at what can you do if you combine what's great about those two things.
I'm going to swipe to the left here and I'm going to do a search.
Let me search for the movie Skyfall.
And what you'll see is that my phone immediately transforms itself.
Now it's all about movies, it's really dynamic.
So I get access to, you know, movie review websites,
I can buy tickets with Fandango, I can read about it on Wikipedia, IMDB.
What's interesting here is I may never have seen those applications before.
They're shown to me in real time based on what I care about.
So this is a really new way of thinking about how the web meets apps to give you something new and amazing.
And you're going to love this because it's instant gratification based on what you want and when you want it.
However, we do have a standard marketplace that users are going to expect
and that's going to give developers a place to submit their apps to get discovery, ratings and reviews, etc.,
and I'll show you that on the ZTE phone. It's called the Firefox Marketplace.
Firefox Marketplace has everything a user expects in terms of categories, ratings, reviews, discovery.
But what's important about our model, is that you don't have to use the Firefox Marketplace.
We expect there to be multiple marketplaces and in the spirit of complete openness,
any developer can distribute an app directly to users without using a market place at all.
And we think that's a very important web principle that's going to make innovation happen all over the place.
So that's Firefox Marketplace.
So, thanks for watching. I think it's a really big day for Firefox OS.
We introduced a whole set of network operator partners,
OEMs, chips app vendors and app developers, and there's a lot more to come.
So keep your eyes on Firefox OS. It's going to be amazing.
