Phones for Ubuntu, this is the name of this version will allow you to take advantage of the wealth distribution on your mobile. At the joys of free! And be careful, because the company Mark Shuttleworth seems to have done a very good job. Yes, and if you want more information, or if you just want to start working on porting your applications to the mobile version of Ubuntu, then you can say that you are very well fallen.
Ubuntu is undoubtedly one of the most popular Linux distributions on the market. Certainly, it is not unanimous among other bearded and connoisseurs, but she managed to win in the general public. And even if Windows still reigns as master on the market, it is still a very good performance and proves finally that users are increasingly sensitive to such alternatives.
Ubuntu for Phones: Features
Ubuntu resume Phones for much of the functionality of the distribution, while adapting our touchscreens. At the same time, it was better, huh. Corner of the screen and be reactive and will allow us to quickly access certain features without the need to browse through the menus of the platform. This will lead to multitasking, return to the previous screen or even enjoy a launcher built and give us the opportunity to start in a few seconds our favorite applications.
In addition, the platform will carry a universal search engine that will allow mobile users to easily find information, certainly, but also to get their hands on applications. Speaking of which, it should also know that Ubuntu for Phones integrate a number of native applications to manage their emails or SMS, to access the camera, organize photos, play music and to many other things. Ubuntu One will also be in the game.
Interesting, but the best is yet to come as the platform will be perfectly able to interpret HTML5. And it also means that you can code your applications directly in the language for then propose the integrated shop. Besides, if you need a little more info, know that you will find all the instructions that go to this address. English is against implementation, as you probably imagine.
Ubuntu for Phones: technical specifications
All that is great, but you may be wondering what are the smartphones which will benefit, right? Very good question, and know exactly what Canonical has done things since Ubuntu for Phones will be able to run on most market configurations. To take advantage, it will suffice to have a smartphone with a Cortex A9 chip, a chip quad-core or even an Atom. Level memory, it will however make sure you have at least 512MB of RAM under the hood to rotate the platform in good condition, and 4 GB of storage space.
Attention all the same as Canonical has not yet provided the first devices that will benefit. The company is currently looking for partners and will have to wait a little longer before we see the first landing on Ubuntu for mobile phones. That said, I think we should see very quickly bloom ROM and tutorials in some specialized sites like XDA-Developers.
Finally, you can also specify that Ubuntu for Phones also function as Ubuntu for Android. In other words, simply plug your smartphone screen (via HDMI output) to take advantage of a desktop computer and find all your environment. And this is without doubt one of the biggest strengths of the platform, from my point of view.
