@rauschma As the market work today, isn't that very close to synonymous?
Can’t find a single news source that is reporting this correctly: Firefox OS phones are not dead, just not distributed via carriers, anymore

@mpjme I don’t know. Apple seems to successfully have defied conventional wisdom here, though. Carriers = crapware. - View other replies

@rauschma What do you mean? Apple has had a strong relationship with carriers since day #1. -
@mpjme Ah, right, AT&T etc. They just dictated terms, incl. their own app store. I’m looking for precedents. Google Nexus? -
@rauschma Nexus isn't a very popular phone comp. to phones via carriers. It's essentially a reference phone: http://fortune.com/2015/09/30/google-nexus-smartphones-about-innovation-not-sales/ … -
@rauschma OnePlus is the best I can think of that sells sans-carriers. Upfront cost limits your target market a LOT.

@rauschma in every news says that the Mozilla itself announced that it's dead... The statement from Ari Jaaksi clearly defines that. - View other replies

@imalitavakoli “we will stop offering Firefox OS smartphones through carrier channels” Not: stop offering them completely

@rauschma I think people are making a reasonable judgement that if the phones are losing distribution then the programme is essentially dead -
@triblondon Possibly badly communicated by Mozilla. -
@rauschma@triblondon Badly communicated by media interpreting a tweet which carries no official meaning and is itself an interpretation :-/ -
@DavidBruant@rauschma@triblondon It's a major policy shift announced at a Mozilla event, of course people *are* going to talk about it! -
@DavidBruant@rauschma@triblondon Mozilla's communication is terrible, why hasn't there been an official statement about this immediately? - View other replies

@codeheroics@DavidBruant@rauschma@triblondon it's because it's not a dev event like reported, it's a company work week, ...
