Mozilla might be working on a device that will make ordinary
TVs more powerful just like Google’s Chromecast TV streamer.
In a report by GigaOm, a Chromecast-like device was
showcased in a hands-on video. Based on the short clip, the device is capable
of flinging content from a YouTube app of an Android software. It was also
mentioned that support for iOS, Windows Phone and Amazon Fire platform might be
provided in the future.
Apparently, the device is going after the same openness as
Firefox OS. But other than that, details about the TV streaming dongle is still
shrouded in mystery.
On top of that Mozilla has denied any involvement with the
project and says that the device might be the work of third party developers
who are using the Firefox OS open-source software. Whether or not this is true is
something we have to wait and see.
