Ubuntu For Phones To Arrive Next Week On Nexus 4

[wraggster]

Canonical has revealed that a developer preview of Ubuntu for phones will arrive next week (http://www.canonical.com/content/touch-developer-preview-ubuntu-be-published-21-february-2013), on the 21st of February. The touch preview will initially only be available for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 smartphones (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/380008/ubuntu-for-phones-to-arrive-next-week-on-nexus-4), but Canonical plans to support more devices. The release is designed to let developers create apps — and to give 'enthusiasts' a sneak peek — ahead of the smartphone side of Ubuntu arriving in version 13.10 in October. Canonical suggested that the OS will initially only support low-end smartphones, but the group plans to also support higher-end models (http://slashdot.org/topic/cloud/ubuntu-smartphones-touch-developer-preview-coming-this-month/), too, and the OS will work across mobile devices, PCs and TVs.
