Mozilla is working on a Firefox OS powered Google Chromecast killer

JMH · Jun 22, 2014

A new report suggests that Mozilla is working on a Firefox OS powered media streaming stick akin to Google's Chromecast. Despite the stick being powered by Mozilla's HTML5-based Firefox OS, it is actually capable of running some apps from Chromecast, most likely as a result of Google opening up its Cast SDK to developers earlier this year.

Gigaom reports how sources "directly involved" with the project gave details of the device and even provided a prototype of the product. It is possible, should the unit hit retail the shelves, that it will be called 'Netcast' as this is a term seen in some recent Mozilla developer notes.
