Comment To: Will Firefox Phone Rock the World?
To combine the programs with mobile devices is an idea that came out recently. After Google came up with their own cell phone, many other companies, including Firefox, consider this idea as a chance to make more profit and attract more consumers. However, they ignore the risk of entering a new market.
As the cellphone market becomes more and more saturated, it is really hard to step into the field. Also, while two companies, Apple and Samsung, are dominated in the market, it is really difficult for other companies, such as Firefox, to compete with them. My suggestion for Firefox is that it can attract more customers by first partnering with some major cellphone companies and use Firefox as the name of the product. The company can add all the features of the original Firefox phone to the partnered phone so that consumers will be informed about the uniqueness of the phone. Also, Firefox can ask the partnered company to share their apps with Firefox. Once Firefox gets into the market and has the chance to share the app pool with Android or Apple, it can then start to produce its own phones.
