The Mozilla Marketplace is a try to get visibility and to introduce new concepts about cloud computing. Basically, apps for FirefoxOS are made in HTML, JavaScript and are simple.

Whereas FirefoxOS is an operating system focused on webapps, I was thinking that even if I can not have a FirefoxOS working perfectly on my phone, so I could benefit from the application and Mozilla Marketplace.

I was curious to use programs for FirefoxOS Meego on my phone and decided to create a simple app converter to get Mozilla Marketplace apps and bring it to Nokia Widget Runtime format. This be able to run applications in FirefoxOS phones Nokia Symbian V3, Symbian S40, MeeGo and Tizen .

Unfortunately to use my converter, you must use the Linux operating system and have the W3C Runtime installed on your mobile Meego / Maemo.
