Mozilla, the non-profit organisation behind the Firefox web browser, has said it’ll use the ‘Firefox’ brand for its forthcoming HTML5-based mobile operating system. A number of major mobile network operators have already expressed their support for the project.
TCL Communication Technology (which uses the Alcatel One Touch brand) and ZTE plan to produce the first Firefox OS devices.

Mozilla Labs – part of the community behind the Firefox web browser – has published details of a 'concept' mobile phone. The Seabird mobile phone was created by designer Billy May as part of the Mozilla Labs Concept Series. However, it's worth noting that Mozilla has no plans to diversify beyond software into hardware production – which means this particular design is unlikely to be manufactured.
Seabird's features include a projected keyboard and display, wireless charging and a slide-out Bluetooth headset that can also act as a 'wireless mouse' for the phone's screen.
