you say:
"FFOS is a solution in search of problems, unfortunately those are problems which already have better solutions."
I have to disagree. Firefox OS offers many things that are important and needed right now, lets pick some stuff that is not served elsewhere:
* A platform that is developed in the open and accepts contribution. Firefox OS is the ONLY MOBILE OPERATING SYSTEM where all the source code is open including our built-in apps and services. Its not only available but its constructed in public with people being able to contribute and see what is being done.
* A platform that doesn't limit your freedom. You're free to build and distribute your apps without walled gardens. You don't need to pay to place an app on Firefox Marketplace.
* A platform that embraces the web which is one of the major achievements of the internet. Instead of the "you can't do this with HTML5" we're fixing the web platform so that you can have apps that work equally between platforms. It means that apps will be able to work on the web, desktop, mobile regardless of OS as vendors implement the WebAPIs.
* A platform where HTML5 is a first-class citizen.
