And to sweeten the deal, we’ll send a Firefox OS Developer Preview device for you to work with now. Wherever you are, if you can show you’ve got a great app idea and the skill to build it, we’d love to see your apps in the Marketplace when the Firefox OS launch begins later this summer. We know you may not live anywhere near Bogota, Colombia or Warsaw, Poland, locations of upcoming App Workshops. Maybe you’re a student about to start a summer break. Maybe you’ve created beautiful web apps for a desktop environment and now you want to port them to mobile. Maybe you’ve built apps in the past for Chrome, webOS, Blackberry WebWorks, or the PhoneGap store. We call it: Phones for Apps for Firefox OS.įirefox Marketplace on the Geeksphone Keon Today we’re announcing a new program with you in mind. And you’re ready to ‘Send to Device.’ You just need to get your hands on a device. We know you’re out there, chomping at the bit, coding, testing, reading documentation, downloading and running the Firefox Simulator. Hello HTML5 app developers, the open mobile web is calling. There will be other opportunities to get access to the the Developer Preview device. We regret we can’t respond to the thousands of you with great ideas for apps for Firefox OS. Whether or not you receive an invitation now, the Marketplace is open and there’s never been a better time to submit your apps. The open mobile web needs your interest and enthusiasm. Thanks to everyone who participated by sending a proposal.

We will begin shipping Geeksphones to app developers who’ve committed to building and porting apps for Firefox OS.

Update: Today, Wednesday, June 19, we began inviting app developers with winning Firefox OS app proposals to join the Phones for Apps program.
