MOSCOW, August 26 (RIA Novosti) - Mozilla has begun the sale of its first budget smartphone in India for 1999 rupees ($33), according to Bloomberg. The move represents Mozilla’s first attempt to enter the South Asian Market, the fastest growing on the planet.

“It is exciting to see the Intex Cloud FX now available as the first Firefox OS device in India and Asia. The positive consumer feedback from other markets tells us that people like the unique user experience and openness we’re building with Firefox OS. With support from Intex, Firefox OS smartphones in the ultra-low-cost category will redefine the entry-level smartphone and create strong momentum in Asia,” said Dr. Li Gong, President of Mozilla on their blog.

The low cost device will run Mozilla’s own Firefox OS. It will also be equipped with a two megapixel camera, a one gigahertz processor and 128MB of RAM, upgradable to 4GB, Jane Hsu, the company’s director of marketing said writes Bloomberg.

The smartphone will be attractive to many users because of its low price and functionality. According to Bloomberg, the company plans to sell a half million units in the next quarter.
