Robert Nyman of Mozilla pointed me at this: https://blog.mozilla.org/ligong/2013/06/03/foxconn-joins-the... "Foxconn stated that they intend to have FFOS running on all categories of the “8 screen” devices, from smartphone to tablets to laptops to TVs and outdoor signage." Name me another mobile OS that will be running on laptops or outdoor signage. :) This, I think, is the bigger vision of FF OS that is the reason people should get interested and involved.
