Steve Jobs would be jealous

Do you remember when first iPhone was released? It was in 2007.

Steve Jobs announced that Safari will be the development platform for the iPhone. If that would be true developers would have access to all the iPhone core services and could develop apps that can make phone calls, send email, SMS, etc.

Steve Jobs was a visionary. The idea was great. Later that year Apple announced that iPhone will use SDK. Why? The web was not ready for operating system based on Web.

Steve Jobs was just a visionary and nothing more. To confirm that let’s take a look in the past. Jobs had the idea to put all the components together and build Apple II. Jobs had an idea and his partner Wozniak actually built it. You can read great article about that here.

Today 6 years later we are close to releasing Firefox OS. Open operating system based on the power of Open Web. No SDK just Web technologies that are the core of open web apps. Open Web apps are generally web pages that include manifest.

The Open web is ready to be the main development platform.

The number of Web developers is significantly higher than Android or iOS developers.

It’s fair to say that Steve Jobs would be jealous.
