We’ve got a $35 Firefox OS phoneOne of the most important tech stories in the coming years will be the bridging of the "digital divide." Only one-third of the world is online, which leaves about 4.8 billion people unplugged with no way to access the Web. A lot of work needs to be done on the ISP side, but people in these poorer countries will need devices, too.http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/09/weve-got-a-35-firefox-os-phone-what-do-you-want-to-know/#p3

Good news. One thing we need for bitcoin adoption is cheap and affordable smart phones for people in the developing world.

I actually like Firefox OS compared to some of the other new OSs being released. It is very smooth and intuitive. I think it will be a success. The phone on the other hand seems to be a disappointment. I would just find a cheap higher spec model on EBay and load it up with FireFox OS.

It's gonna be a bit of a disappointment with such a low price tag. If people want luxury or specs they're going to have to pay a premium. |

True, but im too paranoid so i need qt. bitcoin-qt (or bitcoin core as it's known now) currently needs 20+GB of space for the blockchain and is incredibly CPU and IO intensive, too much for most low-end PC's nowadays. I doubt it'll run on a mobile device. |
