A startup located in Hong Kong led by the former president of Mozilla aims to challenge the dominance of the Android operating system with its new operating system based on web.
H50S , the operating system startup , is based on HTML5, a Web standard that allows you to program web applications very similar to native applications found in iOS and Android.
Li Gong, the former president of Mozilla, began in Acadine Technologies May, but the new operating system will not be available until 2016. We expect a very difficult battle, in which a tiny scratch market share will be nothing short of a real epic against Android and iOS. Giants like Microsoft have an almost anecdotal use, how can a small startup achieve attract users in the 2016? At the moment, Acadine Technologies raised $ 100 million in its first round of funding at Tsinghua Unigroup Chinese group.
Gong Li decided to give Mozilla, quoted by the WSJ, and who believes that an operating system based on web could change the landscape of the industry completely. But for Mozilla, an organization nonprofit , it was difficult to get enough funding. Always wanted to be part of a startup and thus departed from Mozilla to start your own adventure
For the entrepreneur, the key of its new operating system is its efficiency. It is lighter and consume less memory and Android power. It also requires less computational power to provide the same experience, ideal for cheaper smartphones. Another advantage, according to Gong Li, is offering an ecosystem of applications and services truly open without default Google services. Ideal for working with content providers and service operators.
The biggest problem is that these advantages have them Tizen, OS made by and for the web, and Cyanogenmod, a derivative of Android without the services and applications Google default. Both have a much larger team behind. Problems than it is aware. The main thing is to overcome the obvious criticism: a new operating system can not provide the same applications and services that Android . But that, in his opinion, does not mean that its new operating system does not fit, you just have to find the weaknesses of Android. The super cheap smartphones and high-end can be your niche. Also the smart TV, and above all, the Internet of things. Although there have as main opponent to Tizen.
