A Firefox OS developer evangelist tweeted a photo of a prototype HDMI stick that runs Firefox OS and offers DIAL-based, Chromecast-style media streaming. Mozilla developer evangelist Christian Heilmann posted the photo below to Twitter on June 19, and followed it up with a few sparse comments in answer to readers’ questions. Heilmann describes the device as “a fully open TV casting prototype device running FirefoxOS… Open boot loader and all.”
