Mozilla Launches Phase Two Of ‘Phones For Apps’ Program

Darrell Etherington | TechCrunch | September 4, 2013

Mozilla today is announcing the next stage of its efforts to get Firefox OS hardware in the hands of developers building software for it: the so-called “second phase” of the Phones for Apps program offers devs the chance to get a Firefox OS device to keep, but this time around the focus isn’t on people who’ve built apps specifically for Firefox OS. Mozilla now wants to give developer Keon FIrefox OS handsets to those who want to port their existing titles.

In order to participate in the program, developers need only have already built and shipped an exiting HTML5 web application, and must provide Mozilla with a link to said app online, or in the Amazon Web App, BlackBerry WebWorks, Chrome Web Store, webOS or PhoneGap online stores. You can also use apps built with HTML5 submitted to native app stores like Apple’s or Google’s in a native wrapper.
