Mozilla's new Firefox OS Tablet has been making rounds of the global technology headlines ever since the first week of January when the company wrote on its #-Link-Snipped-# about the things that we could look forward to when it comes to the blazing hot OS. Firefox OS takes proud in the way it is developed by empowering Web technologies and the Web’s principles of openness and competition at every layer of the stack. Mozilla has now revealed a Firefox OS contribution platform to accelerate the development of Firefox tablets and the supporting ecosystem. This will be made possible by giving dedicated contributors the access to resources and reference hardware, initially with tablets from Foxconn. The great news here is that, Mozilla's Director of Firefox OS - Mr. Asa Dotzie has revealed the hardware specs of the Foxconn-made reference Firefox OS tablet. Let us take a look at them.
