hey guys it's David with the verge and we're here looking at mozillas boot to gecko project basically it's the internet on a phone it's not actually the phone but it's the software running on it and it's essentially just the most intense html5 bookmarks you've ever seen on a phone and it lets you do all of the things you'd ever want to do on your cell phone but using html5 in the internet instead of any kind of native apps so basically as soon as you turn the phone on all you're getting is the internet and html5 even the lock screen and once you unlock it this is basically just bookmarks like you can see on the internet but like way more impressive even the dialer which works just like any normal phone you use is all html5 and it's all running from the web you can actually see the source code of a page that you're on and you can see the drama script and all the stuff that's running this phone and apparently you can edit it but we figure we shouldn't do that as you can see it's early in the project and it's not a product yet they were very careful to tell us that but there's a lot of cool stuff happening here you can play games like cut the rope which work in html5 as well there's a full browser and the idea is there's going to be a marketplace and your apps will actually follow you as you go it's called persona and so whether you load firefox on your browser or you load this phone all your apps will be available and again it's just you're looking at tons of different bookmarks there's even a camera and it's running html5 it stores the photos natively but everything you're seeing here is from the web so right now all of this stuff is only available if you're online Mozilla is planning to bring a lot more into the project and let you do a lot more offline and select what you want to use on and offline but for right now this is purely an online phone and again it's very early in the project but this is a pretty insane way of using bookmarks and using your for Mozilla so that's mozillas boot to gecko project
