I really love how the Nexus phones have become a fixture in concept shots for alternative OSes. They showed up in Mozilla's OS announcements as well.



The thing is like Mozilla, they piggy-back on Android for Linux kernel and drivers on hardware.

A Mozilla engineer told me that without Android (and consequently Linux kernel and drivers availability) they could never have pulled it.


It helps that they don't have carrier or manufacturer branding plastered on the front.


yeah saw that too, but then I got exited and was looking for a ROM download for the Nexus S or 4, but their doesn't seem to be any.
