Ubuntu Phone Seems To Be The Computing Of Future - Techno Bash

An android and iPhone competitor, Ubuntu is skating to where the puck is going to be. But, with such a bold move, there are significant obstacles to overcome. The soon to be released Ubuntu Phone is paving the way that all smart phones will eventually go. The components required to build the computers become smaller and cheaper, till eventually it was possible to put one on your desk. The computer stayed on the desk until the laptop computer, a smaller, more portable, but just as powerful machine, made it nearly obsolete. And then, the iPhone was released, followed shortly after by Android and the Palm WebOS, and the next step in computing was clear. Mobile computing devices like our phones are the next wave in personal computing. They continue the trend of laptops by being smaller and portable, and exceed by having near ubiquitous Internet access, and by being so portable they can fit in your pocket.

The Ubuntu mobile software, like its OS for desktops, will be open source and built around the kernel Google?created for its Android software. At a press conference in Las Vegas, Canonical , maker of?Ubuntu, demonstrated the mobile software operating on a Galaxy Nexus. With Ubuntu?s smartphone software, users will see a mix of old and new.Ubuntu mobile OS has kept some familiar Android features such as the sideways sweeping gestures and the system status icons including battery life, connection, and volume on the right side of the notification bar. The?Ubuntu software also offers some nice surprises like larger App icons and thumb gestures that access content and active app switching.? The Ubuntu Phone is expected to be released in late 2013 and will be preloaded on Android phones.. Phones will ship with both Chromium and Firefox browsers and run Linux native apps written in QML and web apps written in HTML5, CSS, and Javascript.
