Firefox OS Powered Flame Available For Pre-order; Ships Globally 109
sfcrazy (1542989) writes "Developers need access to device running the platform for which they develop. Nexus was Google's reference device and now Mozilla is coming out with its own device. Mozilla has opened pre-order for Flame, its Firefox OS reference devices for $170 including free shipping."
Specs are, of course, modest: a dual core 1.2GHz snapdragon, 1G of RAM, 8G of flash, an 854×480 4.5" screen, and a 5MP camera. Now, if only they would release a device with a keyboard.
Price a bit steep for lowest end platform (Score:2, Informative)
You can get a JIAYU G4S for around $180
It has 1.7Ghz 8 Core CPU
2GB of RAM
1280x720 Display
13 MP Camera
So $170 for something with the specs of a under $100 phone seems lame.
Is this legacy of a design taking too long to come to market?
