Here it is: the fourth and final piece of the Ubuntu puzzle. We’ve seen the OS on smartphones, on TVs and of course on desktops, but the tablet version has spent a little longer in its dressing room. Fortunately, Canonical feels that the last stage in its four-screen strategy is now ready for the limelight and has released a video of the software in action.
Ubuntu is coming to smartphones, and now to tablets too. At least if you have a Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 tablet, that is, for a preview build that’s coming shortly. It’s a safe bet that it’ll be a while (sometime into 2014) before tablets start rolling off the assembly line with Ubuntu installed, however.
I’d replace ‘however’ with ‘if ever’
I sincerely hope it’s everything they’re claiming it’ll be.
It looks pretty amazing. Feature wise, it looks like the best mobile/tablet OS out there. We’ll see if it lives up to it.
I’m eager for more competition in this space and who knows, it might put forward some great ideas in terms of interface.
