Prepare for Ubuntu Touch Smart Phones in 2014
There was much hype around the unveiling of Ubuntu Touch, Canonicals take on a smartphone OS. People who had been getting a bit bored with Android or were looking for a smartphone experience similar to desktop Ubuntu had their eyes on Ubuntu Edge, an exciting yet highly ambitious crowd-sourced project. Following its unfortunate failure, Canonical decided to soldier on, inking their first deal with a partner to ship smartphones with Ubuntu Touch.
As Canonical founder and product strategy leader Mark Shuttleworth revealed in an interview:
We have concluded our first set of agreements to ship Ubuntu on mobile phones. Weve shifted gears from making a concept to its going to ship. That has a big impact on the team.
