Re: Shuttleworth: Ubuntu is heading to phones and tablets
That's a win for Qt! I'm excited about this. Ubuntu's huge app catalog makes this very attractive. Of course, I'd rather have apps developed for touch than apps developed for the traditional kbd & mouse setup... BUT I'd still rather have a traditional app for a particular need than no app at all!

Well, they've been trying to do "mobile" since forever (see eg here). I'll believe it when I see it.

Re: Shuttleworth: Ubuntu is heading to phones and tablets
So it's a go for them... again? Let's see if they pull this one off finally.
If they do, this could be a great thing. |

A proper Ubuntu mobile device would be interesting indeed. I wonder how open eiher the drivers or UI would be? The bits already are,, thankfully. Perhaps this could be N900 mk.2 ? |

A bit of overclocking and simple (as well as complex) apps do run under the those chroots but would ubuntu mobile required chrooting ubuntu pc as well or would those apps ment for armel run without any modification (ui might be crappy, I don't care)? While I am no expert at those things I don't think those apps will run out of the box. About openness, if I am not wrong, pc ubuntu has number of closed sourced things. I am not sure if ui is closed in pc version. If ui is open in pc version I would expect the same with mobile as well. And about those drivers, probably it is more upto the hardware vendors as usual. |

While Ubuntu wants go mobile (again), they should also port Dalvik, cure cancer and bring world peace.
Can I add in a '11 Porsche 911 Turbo S for me in that list? |

For interest, here is Shuttleworth's blog post about this. http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/820 . Personally I think this could be interesting, although I notice that haven't announced any mobile hardware partners yet.
