Canonical to demonstrate Ubuntu on phones
Canonical's much-hyped January 2 announcement is the
availability of a version of the Ubuntu distribution for mobile phones; it
will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show starting
January 7. "Your phone is more immersive, the screen is less
cluttered, and you flow naturally from app to app with edge magic. The
phone becomes a full PC and thin client when docked. Ubuntu delivers a
magical phone that is faster to run, faster to use and fits perfectly into
the Ubuntu family." There is no word about uptake by any handset
manufacturers.
