Now the popular desktop operating system, Ubuntu has been announced for Android mobile devices. But this version of operating system is designed to be installed on the mobile devices alongside Android.
This version of operating system runs on top of the Android kernel. This is designed to run on mobile devices with dual-core ARM CPUs.
This new version of operating system brings all the desktop features to the mobile devices. It also supports all the apps like Chromium web browser, VLC media player, Thunderbird e-mail client, Google’s Calendar and Docs, Ubuntu’s music player and photo viewer, Android dialer or the popular Gwibber social networking software.
“This isn’t the “Ubuntu Phone”. The phone experience here is pure Android. This announcement is playing to a different story, which is the convergence of multiple different form factors into one most-personal device.”
“Naturally, the most personal device is the phone, so we want to get all of these different personalities – phone, tablet and desktop – into the phone. When you need a desktop, you connect up to a screen and a keyboard. When you need a tablet, you dock to some very elegant glass.” – said Mark Shuttleworth.
