Last month, Firefox OS was rumored to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2013 (that’s 2 days ago) and it appears that these rumors are true.

Firefox OS phones can run apps developed using HTML5 with the same flexibility as “native apps” on other platforms. Using HTML5 and the new Mozilla-proposed standard APIs, developers will be able to create amazing experiences and apps without the need to learn and develop against platform-specific native APIs.
According to Smart chief wireless advisor Orlando Vea, the Philippines will be among a handful of countries that will be the first to enjoy these Firefox OS devices. He further added that these open mobile OS devices will help bridge the digital divide. Its HTML5-based technology will make available affordable mobile devices with an open mobile ecosystem.
