Manilla » Free Online Account and Bill Organizer

Saw an ad for Manilla on Pandora and thought it looked interesting. It could prove to be helpful, though most of my bills are set to auto-pay. Still, I wanted to share it in case I wanted to come back to it later.

This is an interesting project to keep your eye on. Mozilla seems to keep up with the big dogs (Google and Apple) with their innovation and ideas. I think this is a great idea. It would be awesome to see development become more standardized and universal through HTML5.

Mozilla — Boot to Gecko Project — mozilla.org

Welcome to a new, open and powerful mobile world!

We launched the Boot to Gecko project to enable the Open Web as a platform for mobile devices. We’re making innovation possible by driving the development of new Web standards.

New Web Standards

The project will produce an implementation of these new Web standards to free mobile platforms from the encumbrances of the rules and restrictions of existing proprietary platforms.

Freedom From Proprietary Mobile Platforms

Operators and developers write apps and services for one platform and then rewrite them for others. Users who want to buy phones, e-readers and game consoles from different manufacturers often need to re-purchase apps for each device.
