CES 2014: Mozilla Premiers Firefox OS Tablet Developer Program
Mozilla has recently shown some Firefox OS enhanced smartphones at CES 2014 and contains also announced its plans to enter the high-end smartphone market with two versions which are yet to come.

But that’s not all Mozilla must get for 2014. Because it turns out, the business enterprise could be targeting the tablet field (who isn’t nowadays), in order that it has introduced a brand new Fire OS tablet programmer program that could provide fascinated parties with equipment references (via Foxconn) plus much more.

Mozilla wants to get yourself started the tablet business, of the year immediately after CES and they hope to finish off the project by the end.

By the image snapped by Engaged, the tablet and the UI will sport a pretty minimalist bundle and look pretty mid-range specifications. Another hint towards this theory is that Mozilla has recently parented up with VIA technologies to be able to release a type of mini PC with a sub $100 / €73 price.

We’re likely to see $100 / €73 Firefox tablets available on the market this year, too?
