The first smartphones running Firefox OS should be released in the first half of 2013. It will first be released in South America, and will later come to Asian and European markets.ZTE confirmed at CES 2013 that they will ship a smartphone with the OS.

Mozilla has finally launched an operating system for smartphones, one whose ascendancy will probably be a slow burn, but could also mark big changes in the way people interact with mobile devices — by ditching a closed “ecosystem.”

Firefox OS for mobile phones is not a walled garden like Apple‘s iOs, Windows Phone or (to an extent) Android. It is based on the open web, which means interacting with many of its HTML5-based apps will be like visiting websites through a browser, opening temporarily as apps, and closing. The phone, in essence, is a browser. Mozilla says Firefox phones will be the world’s first “open web devices.”
