Hi there, my name is Chris Lee from Mozilla
-
I'm on the Firefox OS product team.
-
Today, I will show you the latest phones we have
-
for Firefox OS.
-
These are the world's first HTML5-based phones.
-
They're built on web technologies and Mozilla's
-
enhanced the overall smartphone experience
-
by enabling developers and users to have
-
great applications and content so that these
-
experiences can be used across various different platforms.
-
Today we're going to demonstrate Firefox OS
-
on the ZTE Open Device
-
as well as the Alcatel Onetouch Fire device.
-
The first thing you'll see is that the lock screen
-
is very easy to access.
-
You have the ability to directly select the camera
-
and be able to take a photo right away.
-
Or it can unlock the phone and directly go to the home screen.
-
The first app I will show you is the Firefox browser.
-
By opening the browser, you will see that there are top sites, sites you've visited previously
-
where it shows you very easy access.
-
You also have the ability to bookmark your favorite sites by clicking on the star icon.
-
On the top right you'll notice there's an icon
-
you can click on that allows you to access different tabs and create new tabs
-
so you can easily navigate between different content.
-
Dialier and contacts
-
Just like any smart phone, there is a dialer
-
you can easily contact and call your favorite people, friends and family.
-
Then, by clicking on the contacts, you'll see you have contacts you can import directly from Facebook.
-
By clicking on the settings icon you can enable Facebook,
-
log in with your credentials and select all your friends or a few friends
-
and have it easily imported into the device to the device.
-
If you look at what I have here, I already selected a few friends
-
but I can go in and easily update them, remove one of my friends here, and add two more
-
and then I've updated my contacts very easily.
-
From here, I can view their profile photos, their birthday, email them or post a message to them
-
Camera
-
People love taking photos, so we spent a lot of time to share a camera application that is easy to use.
-
If I tap the application here
-
it launches the camera
-
You can see a preview and I can easily take a photo
-
I tap the camera icon
-
and it allows me to take a photo easily and also shows a preview of it.
-
On the bottom left you'll see that you have the option to select the gallery.
-
The gallery brings up the photos you've taken
-
and then I can go back to the photo I just took, tap on it, and now
-
I have the ability to make different edits.
-
I can change the exposure
-
for photos that are too dark or too light.
-
I can crop the photo as well,
-
so I can focus on a given area.
-
I'm also able share the photo via email, via Bluetooth, as well as I can tweet this photo to all my friends.
-
Maps
-
Everyone loves being able to find their location
-
as well as search for different locations, and we think that's really important
-
We've worked with HERE Maps to enable the location experience
-
For example, here you can type in San Francisco and it pops up
-
and you have the ability to click on it and it gives you photos of the city,
-
gives you reviews of different places, restaurants and sights,
-
and you also have the ability to get directions from San Francisco to
-
Mountain View. You can find the directions between these two locations
-
and you can click on different views such as a satellite view or
-
a traffic update view, as well as, if you needed to, you can look for public transportation as well.
-
Firefox Marketplace
-
The Firefox Marketplace is a great place to get content for your device.
-
You can go into the Marketplace and search for
-
games, different types of apps and interests that you have.
-
One of the examples is you can search for Poppit. You type in Poppit, which is a popular game.
-
By searching for it, you can get a description of the app, as well as reviews.
-
Here I can actually install the app and it will show directly in my home screen,
-
and I can go to the home screen, launch it and play the game right away.
-
In addition to the Marketplace, the web is filled with great content and web apps.
-
We've made these available to users really easily using the Adaptive App Search.
-
If you swipe right,
-
you can see a search box in which you can type in any query
-
and it will offer a selection of apps that you can launch instantly
-
or install on your home screen for easy access.
-
Say I want to go out with my friends
-
to a restaurant and grab dinner.
-
By typing in sushi, for example,
-
it returns many different apps
-
What's great about this, is I don't have to install the application or download it.
-
I can instantly get my app and it adapts to my phone experience as well.
-
I can learn everything about sushi I want.
-
It doesn't necessarily have to be about the restaurants.
-
There are many other apps I can choose from.
-
So those are some of the many great features from Firefox OS.
-
This is a new operating system from Mozilla
-
based on web technologies, which give you a personal experience with great performance
-
that you'd want in a smartphone.
