Thats news to me. I read that KaiOS was built from the ground up & not derived from anything.
> Firefox OS hadn't thrown in the towel so early
That was a rather quite event and I was surprised to see no much discussion around it. An OS by Mozilla can be more trusted than an OS by Google. Why did Mozilla kill the project?
Wow. I didn't check the wikipedia entry for KaiOS earlier.
But the weird thing is that I recently read in some magazine (I am unable to remember the name) about Google investing in KaiOS which was a Brazilian company and the whole article was mentioning how Silicon Valley is unable to understand its customers as they live in a bubble and how its the companies in developing countries that truly understand the needs of the customer and deliver. Its mentioned that KaiOS is gunning at Android for #1 in India and Google's investment was a sign of acceptance and a hint that the new version of Android will get shelved soon. It even referred to India based Zoho as the true challenger to Google Apps & Office 360. Also how wechat is miles ahead of Whatsapp & likes and how in a sense it challenges the whole Silicon Valley in terms of all the features it has. Basically it was urging the readers to not assume that silicon valley products as superior and try others too.
I hope Mozilla reconsiders and starts up Firefox OS again. I prefer it over a company driven product like KaiOS.
P.S. Just noticed that the last name of the KaiOS's CEO is "Codeville".
