New video offers a peek at Ubuntu for Android - kennedyweds2000

Of all time since Canonical announced Ubuntu for Android back in Feb, the lack of specific product inside information seems to bear done little to diminish excitement over the coming Linux-based platform.

The projected NexPhone conception helped rekindle that interest earlier this autumn, and on Monday Canonical posted a new video oblation more details.

"Now multi-core Mechanical man phones can buoy be PCs too," reads the text edition related the new video connected YouTube. "Ubuntu for Android enables high-end Mechanical man handsets to flow Ubuntu, the world's darling free PC screen background OS. Then users get the Android they know happening the move, but when they connect their phone to a monitor, mouse and keyboard, IT becomes a PC."

'A life less complicated'

The animated video, embedded below, doesn't actually add any new information to what we've already heard about Ubuntu for Android, which we've been told testament semen preloaded on smartphones, and no fresh cartesian product details or timetables are enclosed.

Even so, "get a speech sound with Ubuntu for Humanoid," the narrator urges, "and go living a aliveness less complicated."

That, successively, makes me wonder if a product announcement is coming soon.

'The desktop is the killer app'

For or s time already in that respect's been a section on the Ubuntu site sacred to Ubuntu for Android, of course, and none new specifics seem to have appeared there since the video's release.

Distillery, I can't help but think the timing must be significant somehow, such Eastern Samoa to lead the way for concrete merchandise news. After all, Standard fall in Mark Shuttleworth did say that "the screen background is the sea wolf app for quad-core phones in 2012" when atomic number 2 announced Ubuntu for Android, and there's not much many left to this year.

I've reached knocked out to Canonical for more selective information, merely haven't heard anything back yet. In the meantime, it's a tantalising chance. I'll place an update as soon as I larn anything more.
