New Mobile OS - Boot to Gecko by Telefonica, Mozilla and Qualcomm

The video shows a phone running the ‘open web device’ OS, which has been developed by Telefónica, in partnership with Mozilla and Qualcomm.

The Telefónica Boot To Gecko platform has been entirely encoded in HTML5, where everything is within that format, from applications to home screen - with just a Kernel, Boot to Gecko and no middleware or libraries of any sort.

The footage shows the mobile phone being used to make calls, send text messages, access Google maps, play high-quality video and even run HTML5 games, from the web.

What? A phone without Apple or Google spying? Sounds great, no? More information how to install Boot to Gecko on your Samsung S2 here.
