Mozilla today announced a number of partnerships that it hopes will hope grow the presence and availability of its Firefox operating system to more markets around the world. Notably, Verizon Wireless in the U.S. has agreed to sell Firefox-powered phones in the future. Mozilla said it is working to create flip phones, sliders, and slates that will be sold by Verizon in early 2016. "Verizon aims to deliver innovative new products to its customers, and this initiative is about creating a modern, simple and smart platform for basic phones," said Rosemary McNally, Vice President, Device Technology at Verizon. According to Mozilla, Firefox OS will allow OEMs to "balance the simplicity of a basic phone with the more advanced features of a smartphone." In other words, they'll have modest support for applications, such as games, navigation, and multimedia. Mozilla and its partners didn't share any details about the future handsets themselves.
