A comment on Firefox OS devices officially released. Parent comment
When normal people buy a mobile, many choose a specific model, because:
- how it looks
- certain persons they know the same model
- there is a specific set of apps they want to have
- how the battery holds
- for whatever reason they want to have a contract and have a limited set to choose from, which fall anyway under the previous points
The question is how to bring these persons to buy a FirefoxOS mobile.
Sure a few geeks will buy them, but will it be enough quantity to keep the operators selling them?
