The revolutionary Firefox OS from Mozilla, which is entirely built to run HTML5 web apps, probably won’t start shipping in the US until 2014 – but
that won’t stop developers from trying to get their hands on a Geeksphone (the only phone that runs Firefox OS, currently available in Spain). Mozilla’s “Principle Developer Evangelist”, Christian Heilmann, notes that developers should work on making their web apps look great before the company starts shipping phones to consumers.

If you’re a developer who’s too impatient to wait for your Geeksphone to arrive, you can start playing around with the Firefox OS Simulator 3.0, which features the ability to push in-progress web apps to connected test devices for some hands-on QA. Other exciting features include testing HTML5 animations (like rotating displays) and the ability to test location-aware web apps that can access a phone’s internal GPS. It looks like Mozilla is doing some really exciting things with HTML5, and we can’t wait to see the consumer reaction to these new smartphones!
