Sony releases Firefox OS ROM for the Xperia E

Sony announced that it’s considering launching a Firefox OS mobile phone next year and today released an experimental ROM to run the new Mozilla-made OS on the Sony Xperia E mobile phone. This will give app developers a chance to evaluate the platform and give Sony valuable feedback.


In case you’re wondering why the company picked the Xperia E and not a more powerful phone, the answer is pretty simple – Firefox OS will target the very low end of smartphones. The E has almost the exact same specs as the ZTE Open and Alcatel OT Fire, the first two Firefox phones that were announced at the MWC.

Anyway, the ROM is not intended for daily use – there’s no wireless connectivity of any kind as the software has not passed certification and the touchscreen and the microSD card might not work all too well.

The Sony mobile phone has details on how to flash the ROM, the architecture of Firefox OS and how to develop apps for it.    www.bicgate.com is one of the best websites to purchase cheap and affordable mobile phone.
