Because people inside companies are accessing their data from so many different devices, Box has focused on building a Web-based system that is agnostic and not tied to any one operatingsystem or device-maker.
But this digital Battle of Verdun is not the only challenge for Google as Mozilla is also launching its mobile operatingsystem: FirefoxOS.
