Mozilla (the creators of Firefox) has been working on a new Mobile Operating System called "Gecko". This video will show you how you can install it on your computer to test it out.

it's the "home" key on the keyboard (which is usually somewhere around the "insert" and "delete" buttons)

[Tinkernut]

thanks for the feedback. when i talk normally, i tend to mumble and a lot of what i say become incoherent. so i do over pronounce what I'm saying. Also, I read what I say from a script, so that might add to it too.

[Tinkernut]

i was holding the stereo microphone. tilt it too far one way, it goes more towards the left channel, tilt it too far the other way, it goes more towards the right channel.

[Tinkernut]

the wiki link in the description has an example that you can copy and paste. otherwise, just move everything directly to your c drive. then you won't have to worry about folder paths.

[Tinkernut]

make sure you put a space between b2g.exe and -profile. Check the wiki link for an example.

Love the video style!
Back to good old days!

I like the way you talk. Very clear. Much better than a mumbling teenager that thinks he knows everything.

[mimjack]

I like your voice. it makes it much easier to follow. your tutorials are awesome.

[AndroidAdvocate]

I think its cool. the fact that its web base all the way the the dialer.

[SHiroo]

i typed in ( -profile ) and it worked!! make sure its exactly like this ( move you b2g file to fesktop it will be easyer to see if you are doing it right )

[RBLXDev]

Yes, but only for certain devices. I believe Nexus 7 and 10 work.

[Tinkernut]

i have two mono microphones and one stereo...

You can escape spaces with the '^' character -- so you should be able to use C:\users\FIRST^ LAST\desktop

[sohigh]

it's like the best of both worlds:) the simple elegance of iOS and the hardcore features like Android:)

[hmuhammad]

I SEE HOW YOU MANAGED TO MAKE THIS LOOK SUPER EXCITING BECAUSE YOU HAVE 3 EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!

[dojix]

My Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 both salute you.

[Mikeongaia]

Next time, you might as well just copy and paste from Wikipedia. Yes it's now called Firefox OS, but I'm not showing Firefox OS because it's not available for download yet. So I am showing Gecko, like I said. And yes, Gecko is the web rendering engine that the OS is built on, so Gecko is as much an operating system as the Linux kernel is Linux.
