The engineering team at Mozilla is in full vapor development platform for mobile phones that the company plans to launch in the near future. Boot to Gecko (B2G) announced in July 2011 takes shape gradually in collaboration with the community - as in all that concerns the world of Mozilla.
Information about the B2G are still few. In general, it is a system focused on the web, taking full advantage of web standards (those that Mozilla is keen to defend, even due to the flagship product Firefox). We also know that the future system is in internal testing, but so far there has been no public demonstration of its functionality.
In the project page for the following scheme with possible features of the mobile platform. It is not very polished or anything close to being finalized, as you can see. The ideas are still in the beginning.
At least a little detail really reminded me of Google Android: the notifications bar at the top of the screen. Apple's critics say the company copied the system feature in Google iOS 5, the first version of the platform with such Notification Center enabled. The B2G Mozilla seems to go the same way (be it good or bad).
We should see a working version of the B2G only in the first quarter of next year. If you depend on Mozilla, the first phone running the system should appear in the second quarter of 2012.
