The
Ubuntu operating system has been modified to run on smart phones. The
Linux-based software will tolerate users to run desktop apps on their phones,
allowing them to double for PCs when docked to monitors.
Ubuntu
for phones is not a completely new operating system, but fairly smartphone
interfaces that assist Ubuntu differentiates from other phone operating
systems. The interface avoids Java in favour of native code. In fact, Ubuntu’s
Web site encourages both HTML5 and native code apps, an benefit for developers
who can create a single application for both the desktop and the PC.
Those
phones won’t be able to run Android applications at all, and instead will run
software developed for Ubuntu Phone operating system. On advanced end phones, user
will also be able to dock your Ubuntu phones and connect a display and keyboard
to run desktop style apps, but on the go user run mobile apps developed
particularly for the new mobile version of Ubuntu.
The
new version has been designed to work on last and present making Android phones
which share the Linux kernel. This means Ubuntu can use again existing software
drivers to control the hardware.
There
are already 45,000 native applications for the system even if with several
prominent omissions such as Adobe's Photoshop and the Office suite, unusual do
exist.
Here
with below shared 22-minute video, in that Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth
would adore to tell you all about Ubuntu’s approach for the next years, which
contain some neat segments on the mobile OS. Also, make sure to keep your eyes
peeled during CES 8 to 11 January, as Canonical will be showing off more of the
OS.
In
any case of the current require of hardware associates, Canonical has created
two versions of the mobile Ubuntu, one for lower end phones, and ones for the
higher end. The system requirements for the lower end phone, which Canonical is
referring to as entry level, are attractive standard: a 1Ghz Cortex A9
processor, 512MB to 1GB of RAM, 4 to 8GB of External MMC + SD flash storage,
and a multi touch screen. The high-end super phone, is the one that can plug
into PCs and become a desktop OS. This will require a quad-core A9 or an Intel
Atom processor, a minimum of 1GB RAM, a minimum of 32GB flash storage, and a
multi touch screen.
Optimistically,
Canonical will be able to nab some hardware manufacturers, because a phone user can plug into a monitor and use as a fully featured desktop OS seems like a
good idea.
