Canonical announces its Ubuntu smartphone OS


Image

Android Central wrote:In its infancy for quite a long time now, software maker Cononical today is taking the wraps off of the smartphone variation of its Linux operating system Ubuntu. The interface will be distinctly in the Ubuntu style, and have many features of other modern smartphone operating systems. There are edge gestures, disappearing controls, global search, voice commands and support for both native and HTML5 web apps.

But Ubuntu for smartphones is more than just a phone OS, as it also provides a full desktop experience when the phone is docked to a mouse, keyboard and monitor. With the current specs of phones, its not unreasonable to expect a single device to be able to handle both a phone and desktop operating system when in each situation. Ubuntu is generally pretty lightweight, so it should run nicely while still remaining feature rich (unlike Motorola Webtop before it.)

Let's not forget that Ubuntu is also open source, giving plenty of options to later customization and tweaking by users as well as quick and free updates in the future. Canonical is holding an informational conference call to provide more details on the launch of its smartphone OS today, which should answer some burning questions. Canonical will also be showing off Ubuntu for smartphones at CES in under a week. In the meantime, take a look at the quick press release after the break.



Not android taking over in 2013 too Image

The video is long and boring tho not even gonna lie!

Got my tab 2. Using one on display in the store was really not very happy with the performance, seemed to be very laggy, screen transitions weren't smooth. When I turned on mine it was much much better. Then realised that it had 4.1.1 and the one in the store was 4.0.4 Huge difference between the two and so happy I didn't get the ipad mini.

I'm guessing if he was choosing between the iPad Mini and the Tab that he got the 7" tablet, and congratulations on your choice pete.

Nah the 10. The $20 more as opposed to the ipad was worth it.

Just drop in the memory card from my phone to watch movies without having to sync with a pc and iTunes.

@M_2NR - unroot it :)

Also..

Samsung increases lead as top US mobile device maker, Apple still gaining, everyone else flailing

Image

Samsung is still the top mobile OEM in the US
, although Apple is very slowly trying to catch up. Rounding out the top five are LG, Motorola, and HTC, all of which continue to lose market share.

The story is similar in the platform space: Google is first courtesy of Android, Apple is second with iOS, but the roles are slightly reversed as Android has grown more than iOS recently. Again, rounding out the top five are RIM, Microsoft, and Symbian, which all continue to lose share.

The latest data comes from comScore, which as usual surveyed over 30,000 mobile subscribers in the US. The analytics firm says 123.3 Americans owned smartphones (53 percent mobile market penetration) in November, up 6 percent since August.

Between those two months, here is how the top five mobile OEMs have fared:

Image

As you can see, Samsung gained 1.2 percentage points from 25.7 percent to 26.9 percent LG fell to 17.5 percent, Motorola dropped to 10.4 percent, and HTC was down to 5.9 percent.

In fact, Samsung and Apple gained a combined 2.6 percentage points while the other three lost 1.9 percentage points together. This means that the duo are even stealing share from OEMs not in the top five.


Last month, we noted that Apple had passed LG, and it looks like the things are going to stay that way. We noted that the iPhone 5 helped put Apple ahead, and that if Google can get enough Nexus 4s to customers, LG could take silver again, but so far, no dice.

Yet even if Google fails with the Nexus 4, it is still doing phenomenally well on the software side:

Image


Apple may be slowly gaining on Samsung in the mobile OEM space, but Android is ahead and growing faster overall when compared to iOS. Google gained 1.1 percentage points between August and November (up from 52.6 percent to 53.7 percent) to further pull ahead in first place. Apple meanwhile increased its share by 0.7 percentage points (moving from 34.3 percent to 35.0 percent).

Once again, RIM was the biggest loser, Image dropping like a rock as it fell 1.0 percentage points (from 8.3 percent to 7.3 percent). Microsoft lost 0.6 percentage points, despite its Windows Phone push, while Symbian lost 0.2 percentage points, which is to be expected.

Again looking at the winners and losers, Google and Apple gained a combined 1.8 percentage points, while the other three lost the exact same amount. In other words, there’s nobody outside the top five that is making big moves. We are really in a duopoly when it comes to mobile operating systems.

^ Got this article from my flipboard today!

That Samsung reign!

dude... why do you need to over clock it for??????

anyways, when i went custom rom for a while, i used smartassV2 as cpu governor and sio as the io scheduler... remember to tick the "apply on boot" setting.. those two work fine!

i went to check for it... i didn't say i did it to it. hell i would rather downclock than anything to try to save battery.
thanks for the info though. I'll play around with that tonight. I'd rather not have to set these things. sadly, it comes with these kernels. I ended up putting the latest RR and it suggested CM10.1 kernel.

Rumor. Samsung Galaxy S4

Image

Early image claims to show upcoming Samsung flagship, but there's reason to be skeptical

It’s that time of year again, boys and girls -- the first purported Samsung Galaxy S4 render has emerged online. This morning Samsung fansite SamMobile posted a photo of a render showing what it claims is the next flagship phone from the Korean manufacturer. The image, which the site says was passed to it by a Samsung insider, appears to be a photo of the render as displayed on a monitor or other LCD display.
The alleged Galaxy S4 (or Galaxy S IV, if you prefer) shot shows a Galaxy Note 2-like design, with accentuated, rounded corners and no physical buttons. The device also has an extremely minimal horizontal bezel, along with the usual assortment of buttons, ports and sensors in the usual places.
There’s no way of verifying the authenticity of this image, but SamMobile has a pretty decent track record when it comes to Samsung leaks. Nevertheless, given how many inaccurate Galaxy S3 renders did the rounds last year, we’re inclined take this latest pic with a hefty dose of salt for the time being.
Even if this image is a legitimate Samsung creation, there’s no guarantee that the device it shows will become the Galaxy S4. Samsung is notoriously secretive with its flagship products, even going as far as designing and developing multiple variations of the Galaxy S3 to reduce the likelihood that the real thing would leak. So there’s a chance this design might be just one of many on the table at this early stage. (Remember that buttonless Galaxy S3 we saw just weeks before the announcement?)
In a related post, the site reports that Samsung will show an early Galaxy S4 prototype to a handful of partner executives and other big-wigs behind closed doors at next week’s CES. If Samsung ships the S4 this spring, as is expected, we wouldn’t be surprised if a few VIPs got an early look at what the company’s cooking in Las Vegas. CES has always been a big business-to-business show, after all.
For now, all we have is an image that may or may not be an upcoming Samsung phone. But if this is the Galaxy S4, we know a few Android nerds who’ll be celebrating Samsung’s new-found affinity for on-screen buttons.

Those are two different categories which both brands are at the top of the lines at.

Samsung happens to be at the top of the mobile phone game right now, while other companies offer nothing but another row of icons with the same internals, samsung is tackling the real issues and listening to what the people really want. Technology is something that we as people aren't naturally supposed to keep up with, it's always moving, one must not possess the same cell phone for over a year, we must move with the tech as it moves faster than humans naturally can up-keep, it may be a struggle but it's what you have to do if you want to live a prosperous life. Ut controls us and it is what we must achieve to become, better, faster and smarter. Become a better person today, go Android!

Boy leave it stock eh, I had to send my S2 up to Samsung in the US for replacing the mainboard, my WiFi chip died and I suspect it is because of overheating (haven't gotten it back yet nor a quote).

Other users reporting the same issue after one year of use (which coincides with my failure) but I used to overclock so I figure it's that.
