Foxconn Technology Group, the world's largest Taiwanese multinational electronics contract manufacturing company, who is known to be building devices for the tech giants - Sony and Apple, is now entering an alliance with Mozilla to build Firefox OS powered devices. For declaring the same, these two companies will be having a joint press event in Taipei on June 3. Along with a formal announcement, it is being speculated that the latest Firefox OS products could be showcased at the event. So, joining the line-up of all the big events by Apple, Samsung and Microsoft this june, is now Mozilla too.
Keeping in mind the fact that earlier this year Mozilla launched two phones named Keon and Peak, developed by a small Spanish company called Geeksphone, that run the HTML-5 based Firefox OS, we are more than curious to know what will this new Firefox OS running device be? - A smartphone or a tablet? If it is a smartphone, it should be a rather powerful one because those earlier phones sported only basic features and were aimed for developers who wanted to build apps for the Firefox OS. But, it could very well be a tablet because one of the industry insiders has said that the new Firefox OS product is likely to be a tablet. Also, Mozilla recently run the Phones For Apps For Firefox OS For Free contest, the one that involved a chance for HTML 5 developers to built beautiful apps for the Firefox OS app store. So, there's a lot of stuff going on in the background.
