ZTE to launch Mozilla-based smartphones early next year

ZTE just can't get enough mobile OS's. The manufacturer is all over Android, it's got Windows Phone 8 coming out of its leaky pores, and now it's revealed plans to launch phones based on the Firefox OS (aka Boot to Gecko) as early as the the first quarter of next year. That's not so surprising, perhaps, given that Mozilla already told us it was working with ZTE to bring its HTML-5 powered platform to life, but it further emphasizes the fact that Chinese smartphone giants are casting about for a viable alternative to Google.
