Mozilla demoed the new OS and a proof of concept interface on a Samsung Galaxy S II. The Boot 2 Gecko OS is built upon a Linux kernel, and Mozilla has developed various APIs for functions such as the phone dialer, camera, and 3D graphics. Developers can then tap into those APIs to create interfaces and apps. The proof of concept that we saw was just an example of such interfaces, but since Boot 2 Gecko is entirely open source, carriers and device manufacturers can have a field day with it.

It is like WP7 and IOS had a baby, and I like it. Would definitely put this on my Amaze 4G if it was released
