.@aral If my choice is between a feature phone and a Firefox OS phone at the same price, I'm going to jump at the FFOS device.

@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. -
@PetrusLundqvist@aral That's Facebook's fault. No reason it *has* to be that way -
@jonathanstark@aral Over a lifetime of use, the initial install is completely meaningless. And you can sideload or install when on wifi. - 1 more reply
