"Mozilla wants to make it big in the Mobile(NOKIA N800 and NOKIA 810) world and has revealed it's plans for an unique mobile app store in it's annual report – 'The State of Mozilla' which was released recently. Mozilla has already brought the desktop Firefox experience to mobile devices long back as the Fennec browser which was initially launched for the Maemo platform on Nokia N900. Mozilla has designed a prototype of mobile app store and plans to call it a 'Open Web App ecosystem'. The aim is to create an open app store platform that would consist of apps which can run on all Mobile device, in other words – A 'Mobile Device Independent' App Store." An Open App store can have two implications. It could be possible that when the Mozilla App store goes live. Mobile device user start flocking to it as they will find Apps for all devices at one place. Since people have multiple handsets these days, the above implication quite makes sense. On the other hand It is also possible that users do not actually visit the Mozilla App store as the general tendency is to download Apps from a repository that is bundled within the mobile device and no mobile device would give the Mozilla App Store a priority over their in house app stores.
