    Default Ubuntu now fits your phone

    Ubuntu now fits your phone



    Introducing the superphone that’s also a full PC

    Room for your content
    Your phone is more immersive, the screen is less cluttered, and you flow naturally from app to app with edge magic. The phone becomes a full PC and thin client when docked. Ubuntu delivers a magical phone that is faster to run, faster to use and fits perfectly into the Ubuntu family.

    Mobile industry ready
    With all-native core apps and no Java overhead, Ubuntu runs well on entry-level smartphones – yet it uses the same drivers as Android. So now it’s easy to bring a better experience to customers all over the world.

    Everything developers need
    Create gorgeous native apps or lightweight HTML5 apps easily with our SDK. Repurpose web apps fast, so they look and work like their native cousins. With one OS for all form factors, one app can have interfaces for phone and desktop – in just one upload to one store.

    This is something I will be watching closely... I am loving everything I am seeing here. Just one thing.... I don't think I can live without Google Now/Voice So if they can somehow innovate a "Siri Like or Google Now Like" feature I will be sold on this.

    This looks rather nice, I was actually looking for a reason not to like it but I really couldn't find one. My thinking the phone mode should evolve to where PCs are right now, i.e. let me buy my hardware and choose what OS I want on it but I digress. The Ubuntu phone's biggest challenge will be developers, will they be able to woo enough of em over to have them develop meaningful apps. I must say I loved everything about what I have seen, more so than how I loved Android the first time I saw it. Ubuntu's next challenge will be to change public perception, the masses still see Linux as a geek's OS. Quite frankly I don't think there is enough room in the mobile eco-system for Ubuntu phone I think it'll get chewed up and spat out.

    true but if you are to get a majority of linux users out there to buy one that shouldnt be a problem. as it relates to developers thats the easy part
