Android seems to have got his opponent. Perhaps, later on it could be a true rival.
Mozilla quietly (not actually secretly really, just wrote a little less preaching. D) has to make its own OS for smart phones. Its open source and the base on HTML 5. Referred to as Mozilla's 'Boot to Gecko' by its official name is Firefox OS.

Both will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor.

Phones that use the software will first be available in Brazil and will be marketed by the Brazilian operator, Telefonica Vivo. Some mobile operators also voiced support for the Firefox OS. There's Deutsche Telekom (parent company of T-Mobile), Etisalat (which operates in 18 countries including the Middle East, Asia and Africa), Sprint in the U.S. and Telefónica in Spain.

The functions of mobile devices such as Firefox OS phone calls, messages, calendar, and others, based on HTML5. This is called Mozilla will open up opportunities for application developers (developer). Mozilla CEO Gary Kovacs told a press conference in Sao Paulo explains, "Openness" of this OS will provide flexibility for the user to operate the phone and set the application in it.
