FollowCanonical has announced that it is soon going to release its first smartphones. These Ubuntu phones are likely to make their debut in October. Ubuntu is an app which was officially launched in January but its phones will appear later in the year. The company plans to give phone users a preview of Ubuntu being used on an android device by installing it on Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
The advantage of using this app is that it can be used for the desk top as well as the smart phone. This gives you the flexibility of working on any of the two devices. It is one platform that users will find useful.
With Android and iOS ruling, it remains to be seen how Ubuntu will fare. This Linux base operating system will be available across several devices. Galaxy Nexus will bring out the first Ubuntu phone this month.
Canonical, the Ubuntu developers, believe that they will find success in the US markets although it will be tough to clear their stringent rules and regulations. They will need to gear themselves so that they do not find themselves failing like the blackberry.
It remains to be seen which carrier Ubuntu will consider as it moves into a space dominated by Google and Apple. Some phone companies like Samsung are showing interest in this new OS. Ubuntu will find itself placed with Tizen- a Linux platform and Bada- a Samsung platform. Nothing has so far been revealed.
Will the Ubuntu take on the might of Androids and iOS? This operating phone will allow you to stream software on your phone. You will be able to install it on the desktop or tablets. Ubuntu will be useful for companies that use Linux and are security conscious. Ubuntu is about to steal the show.
I love Ubuntu phones. I think Ubuntu for Android will be best of both worlds: Android + Ubuntu.
Ubuntu phone + a monitor = Computer. This is indeed a cool feature. Will be interesting to see which cell phone company brings this first.
