14 DAY TRIAL // After yesterday’s announcement regarding the first ever Softpedia Linux web app for the Ubuntu Touch (also known as Ubuntu Phone) mobile operating system, today I have the great pleasure of announcing the Softpedia Linux Scope for Ubuntu Phone. The Scope has been published on the Ubuntu Store and can be installed on your device today with a single press of a button.
As you might know, Ubuntu Touch is a special and unique mobile OS that relies greatly on Scopes, which act like individual home screens for all sorts of content. While the Softpedia Linux web app only gives you access to the Softpedia Linux Homepage, the mobile version of what you see on your desktop when pointing your favorite web browser to http://linux.softpedia.com, the Softpedia Linux Scope gives users more control of our content.
With the Softpedia Linux Scope installed on your Ubuntu Phone device, whether it’s the brand-new BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, which should arrive at the Softpedia HQ sometime in March, or a Nexus 4 smartphone, you will have instant access to all of our content, including news, blogs, software reviews, tutorials, as well as the latest Linux releases, on the go, wherever you are.
Users will be able to search each of the Softpedia Linux sections for specific content
The Softpedia Linux Scope lets you quickly switch between multiple news sections of our website. In this version, these are News (default), Blogs, Linux Distributions, Latest Software Releases, Open Source Software, Ubuntu Tips and Tricks, Other Tips, Tricks and Tutorials, and Reviews. However, the best feature of the Scope is that the user will be able to search each of the aforementioned sections for specific content (see the screenshots for details).
Our dedicated readers will also be able to install a Softpedia Linux web app for the Ubuntu Desktop in the coming days, and we’re working hard to release Softpedia Linux Scopes for our YouTube and Twitter channels. Of course, all apps will be free!
