Firefox OS phone will be discontinue


http://techcrunch.com/2015/12/08/moz...s-smartphones/

I knew it will flop because google/android and apple/IOS phones have the largest market share. Even MS phones can't compete with them.

Not sure how well ubuntu phones are doing. If you know, let us know.

You never can tell..

If they come out with something good..or will edge out the other competitor then that would be the day of their triumph.

The niche is so competitive. It's hard to make a success without any prior experence in that field

I used it on my Geeksphone for a minute did not care for it plus it ticked me off taking away the main feature of the phone, the ability to switch to other OS's!

Their competitions make us surfer so there's open source...
