Boot to Gekco, Mozilla Operating System for Tablets Project

Mozilla is developing a special mobile device operating system. Even though 'similar' with Chrome OS, the target is the smartphones and tablets.

Project creating this new operating system called Boot to Gekco (B2G). Web-based open operating system is almost the same idea as conceived by the Google Chrome OS.

However, if ChromeOS made especially for notebook, B2G project will target smartphones and tablets.

Gecko,name of the project, is taken from Mozilla's layout engine. It seems that Mozilla will build with B2G Android and Gecko components as its main technology.

Mike Shaver, one of the lead developers of this project, said Android is only used to a minimum. Android kernel and drivers say just be a starting point.
