IMO is more interesting than Android (which is less interesting than iOS, and iOS is the most interesting of all).
reason: apps can be cross-searched. So if you type like "stumptown" into the phone, you can get the web results, the results from the Yelp app, and the results from the maps app.
They're also installable from websites, so instead of having to search the app store to see if your favorite website has a custom app available, you are simply given the option to save the website to your phone when you arrive.
This is a big deal IMO. Like, on the iPhone, if you installed all of your favorite websites apps to the phone, you'd have like 12 apps, and you'd have to quit and exit complete applications every time you hopped between them. Firefox OS is looks like when you type in your favorite site to the webbrowser, if you chose to install the custom part of the website locally to your phone, you get the increased features + you can hop between sites easily.
It's slow now, but with tech improvements in processor speed it shouldn't matter within 3 years.
