@jonathanstark @Maarteuh The natives will appreciate it.

@aral@PetrusLundqvist I can't think of a platform that is more open than the web. Yes, there are big players, but they don't control it.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral@PetrusLundqvist The barrier to entry on the web for both users and developers is lowest on the web. -

@aral@PetrusLundqvist It takes some pretty serious mental gymnastics to argue that it's proprietary or closed. -
@jonathanstark@PetrusLundqvist (I feel there is a big disconnect between what you want the web to be and what it actually is.) -
@aral@PetrusLundqvist Perhaps. But I still can't think of a more open alternative. Whether people choose to embrace it is up to them. -
@jonathanstark@aral And on their Android device they can run 100K cool games etc. So why get a Firefox OS device? It doesn't make sense. -
@PetrusLundqvist@aral It's not just the cost of the phone. If the total cost of ownership is lowest for Firefox OS, it'll sell. -
@jonathanstark@aral Why would it be lower on Firefox OS than on an Android device? A web device will use *way* more data than an app-one. -
@PetrusLundqvist@aral Why? Native apps access data over the network. A plenty of them have a huge initial download. -
@jonathanstark@aral Very easy to test and compare e.g. 60 mins or Facebook web usage to initial download plus 60 mins of FB iOS app usage. - 3 more replies
