It is also estimated that the company will further approach to tablets also. In an event with Hon Hai, a Taiwan firm which is the major manufacturing company Foxconn Mozilla revealed a brand new device installed with Firefox OS.
Mozilla has been experimenting with the tablets in the market from a certain span of time as Firefox for Android tablets was launched in January 2012. As per Andreas Gal, VP of mobile engineering FireFox reported that when the project was in its baby state it aimed at tablets only but now they are focusing at smartphones.
