Watch Ubuntu Phone OS in Action

Yawn. They should just supply apps and code to Android, and support standards and compliance.

Ubuntu site was calling on manufacturers to link with them on simultaneous integration with Android for some time. They still are.

I do wonder why they decided on the even less promising gambit of nixing Android entirely. Well, less promising insofar as I can tell - my impression is that official Ubuntu people are notorious for leaving others in the dark as to their reasoning on such things.

Swiper No Swiping!

Why is there never a picture of the full keyboard? Show us how you type a message, please?

Ubuntu OS for phones is a mobile operating system based on Ubuntu ", especially designed for smartphones like Galaxy Nexus, which is also the only supported device, at the moment."

This part, "which is also the only supported device, at the moment." says all, doesn't it? Mark's Ubuntu won't nix Android...

where i can download this !???

Great. About time. I need options to choose from rather than the android ios duopoly.

Laggy, sloppy... Bad OS, just like it's brother Android...
Probably will never be a first class mobile OS...
P.S. (i'm not an iOS fan ! )

dude its not even alpha

Awesome news! Would really love to see linux dominating the smartphone market. The demo on Galaxy Nexus is superb! Wishing all the best.

How do i kill apps if i run out of memory? Is there no "Task Manager" or "Application Manager"?
