[b2g] Deprecating W3C SysApps

Although it is cool standardizing interfaces to various device resources, it comes at a price in terms of slowness and inflexibility. Recently Google publicly declared that they were not going to continue with SysApps which IMO spelled death of this effort. Since Apps using these APIs must be t

You might know we're working on Gonzo in Telenor, and we wanted some GPIO ports on our Firefox OS phone boards. We documented the process on how to turn the GeeksPhone Keon's volume buttons into ordinary GPIO ports that can control a LED light :-) http://ee.telenor.io/gonzo/hardware/2015/02/10/

Regarding access to telephony. We hoped that fxos would get to the point where it is so hackable that users could potentially replace the dialer app with something third-party. It's a bold move, but it's proof we've succeeded in making 'the phone for makers'. *W I L S O N P A G E* Front-end Deve
