Mozilla reportedly will collaborate with Hon Hai, better known as Foxconn, to produce a device running its Firefox operating system.

Foxconn is best known for manufacturing many of Apple's most popular products including the iPhone and iPad. However the firm has been looking to diversify away from Apple and Reuters reports that it will announce a collaboration with Mozilla on the eve of Computex.

Mozilla's Firefox OS is intended for low-cost smartphones and makes extensive use of HTML5. The firm announced support from many telecoms operators that see the operating system as a way to once again assert control over the software that runs on devices they subsidise.
