Article about Firefox OS on EFYTimes is completely wrong

gistfile1.txt

The article hosted on http://www.efytimes.com/e1/fullnews.asp?edid=132039 is wrong in many places. There are many misconceptions such as:

Item 3: Swiping to the left doesn't reveal category. Reveals the adaptative app search that allows you to get the content you need without the need of installing apps. It also shows smart collections.

Item 4: Completelly wrong. Hosted apps are not hosted on Mozilla servers, they are hosted in their own server. They can work offline when the developer uses appCache. Packaged app makes no use of HTML5 caching because they are already on the device.

Item 5: The correct way to try out Firefox OS is by using the Firefox OS Simulator add-on or the App Manager.

Item 6: The list is completely wrong. The current devices are: Commercial devices available on retails: LG Fireweb, ZTE Open, Alcatel One Touch Fire. There are some Android devices that can support Firefox OS but this is not the recommended way. Also there is the Geeksphone Keon, Peak and Revolution that are developer devices.

Item 7: Completely wrong. All the APIs that native apps need are available on Firefox OS thru JavaScript. The apps are built with web technologies but have access to all types of API. Also Firefox OS is shipping in 16 countries, with 4 hardware makers building affordable devices. Ubuntu Phone has no device on the market right now.

Item 8: WRONG!!!! The permission model is based on the browser permission model where the user grants permission in a finer details than Android all or nothing mode.

To fetch real and up to date information on Firefox OS refer to Mozilla documentation.
