Sven Grundberg, Tom Gryta and Will Connors, Race to the ‘Low End’ Is on; Nokia, Google and BlackBerry tap growing market for phones under $200. Wall Street Journal, Feb 27, 2014.

Quote:

(a) “China’s ZTE Corp. introduced a phone running on Mozilla’s Firefox operating system that will cost $80.

(b) “Mozilla, best known as the maker of the Firefox Internet browser, has been most aggressive about pushing prices down. * * *

“Mozilla’s $25 phone, which the company is building with Chinese chip maker Spreadtrum Communications Inc. and expects to release this year, will have just 128 megabytes of random-access memory, a far cry from the 2 gigabytes found in Samsung’s latest Galaxy S5 flagship phone. The Mozilla phone’s low-resolution screen will measure just 3.5 inches diagonally. Samsung’s latest phone has a high-resolution screen that is bigger than 5 inches.

“‘Our prototype doesn’t feel like a Galaxy S5, and it’s not supposed to, either,’ Mr  [Johnathan] Nightingale[, who heads Mozilla’s Firefox browser and operating system business] said. ‘But it has apps, it can use the Web.’

My comment:
(a) There is no need to read the rest.
(b) The website has a bio page for each of its “press center” which says of Mr Nightingale, a white man: “He lives just outside of Toronto, Canada.” Mr Johnathan Nightingale’s first name is something I have not seen before, but the Wiki page for Jonathan does include, as variants, this spelling among a dozen others.
