While Mozilla is recovering from the resignation of its co-founder and CEO Brendan Eichafter the controversy over his support of Proposition 8, here is a bizarre twist to the PR knife: Mozilla’s CMO Pete Scanlon appears in photographs on Apple’s website promoting iOS 7 and the iPhone 5c.
Yes, the 5c, Apple’s less-expensive smartphone, part of its strategy to target new segments, such as emerging markets.
Yes, the same emerging markets that Mozilla is going after with its own mobile effort, Firefox OS.
After a tipster alerted us to the fact, we found pictures of Scanlon in two places on apple.com: a page describing the design of the iPhone 5c, and another page describing Smart Mailboxes in iOS 7. We have confirmed that this is him, down to the furrow in the brow, and the ring on the right hand.
