For the time being, the OS will launch in Brazil and the rest of Latin America, but a European launch may be the cards, as well.

I really like this project. I think it's very clever to develop a mobile OS based on HTML5. It will simplify the creation of new apps and, of course, porting existent ones.
If this is a build that could simply and easily be put on to most phones with very little trouble, then this could be a cool "Upgrade" for older phones.
I'm thinking it'll get killed due to silly updates & their numbering SNAFU. Other than that, I would readily take this on a pay-as-you-go phone; taking into consideration the apps would work in accordance.
Unfortunately for Firefox, I see this going down in a fiery ball of foxy flames. It should at least be interesting to see how they market this... lol I'm surprised no one else has noticed (or at least commented) that the Evernote and Angry Birds icons are reversed. Or rather, that the notification titles are.
