Geeksphone Keon for Firefox OS App Days – Manila Demoers

As promised last January during Firefox OS App Days – Manila, each of the attendees (brave souls) who demoed their apps for Mozilla’s mobile OS will receive a Geeksphone Keon (Firefox OS Developer Preview) device one released.

I fulfilled this promise last night during a simple handover ceremony held at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL) Prism Plaza, Two E-Com Center, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City.

Pinoy Mozillians who are now proud owners of the very first Firefox OS powered devices in the Philippines: Geeksphone Keon.

Fellow Mozilla Rep (from Laguna) Kevin John started developing the app codenamed Tranzilla. The app aims to provide information for travelers, where other people can leave their tips and comments — sort of an opensocial travel network.
