The OFFICIAL Ubuntu Phone Thread

[X-Axis]

What allyuh think? I personally don't like it. At the moment. Maybe it'll get better. But to take a significant market share from Android and iOs....hmm

Looks like its running on a galaxy nexus now. Debuted at CES 2013.

Phone is nice, why don't you like it hmm??

android is based off linux kernel, just as this im sure. since android already works perfectly with backtrack 5/ ubuntu running smoothly on my droid 4, i see no real interest here.

[X-Axis]

^^^ correct...

ubuntu has a lil way to go though, and android has the virus issues to conquer first

if i remember correctly though, android apps run on java virtual machine.

with this os, these apps should run natively on ubuntu - meaning they have direct access to the kernel. they should in effect run a lot faster than android apps.

Ever wonder why when you compare an iphone with similar or even lesser specs with an android phone and you compare how fast the same apps run on the decives the iphone always seems to have a slight advantage with respect to load times?

[r3iXmann]

the iphone always seems to have a slight advantage with respect to load times?

that's not true...did some comparisons using a 4s, s2 and s3...the 4s took longer to load all of the tested apps..have the video somewhere

also the android jvm is a modified version of jvm

drops for the nexus 4 on thursday i wanna port some of the features to my SGY

[grimreaper009]

it have potential just like meego....hopes it dont suffer the same fate as meego tho

[ismithx]

it have much more potential because of the strong modding community who will be able to port it to android devices

[rocknrolla]

Looking good.

hmm it really is down to the app market with this. but from this demo it really seems like that wont be a problem. that's some powerful multitasking i have to say tops android right now. creating it dockable into a tablet or maybe later on a lapdock really makes it convenient. have never been a major fan of ubuntu but this really does look interesting.

as someone previously said, this runs natively on your hardware, bypassing the Java Virtual Machine used by Android. Not only will this make things run a whole lot faster, you can run any Linux desktop app on your device.

Steam has just released a version of it's client for Linux. Imagine playing full desktop games on your mobile device.
