Ubuntu for Android
Get ready your multicore android to run Ubuntu as app.
Yesterday Ubuntu unveiled its OS for Android multicore phones which enables user to run a fully featured desktop OS on mobile.
One of the biggest benefit is just connect your mobile to any tv or monitor and you are set.

Kaustubh KatdareI don't get it - how is it different from the regular android icons being displayed on a larger screen? -
lalN900 have been doing this from ages ago itself I guess. Ubuntu works great on that device. Dual booting, triple booting and even quadraple booting of different OS including Android on N900 with almost full support is even in history books 😁 Even connecting a DVD player and watching a movie on the device has been accomplished. I think N900 is the most versatile hardware or flexible or a developer's dream machine till date among mobile phones 😀

Abhishek RawalIn my opinion,the lame move by Mark shuttleworth.
Install Ubuntu in Android in dual core phone,connect it to PC & now it's Ubuntu desktop.
Canonical is trying to enter the mobile market,but this don't seem like pure mobile implementation.It's more of mobile-desktop hybrid.
I don't understand how Ubuntu for Android is better than Ubuntu flashed pendrives except you can access android datas,contacts & messages but most Android apps are not compatible by Ubuntu.
I will rather stick bootable ubuntu pendrive to my laptop or desktop & use it rather than flashing Ubuntu image in my Android phone & connect it to dame thing.
Canonical won't be able to hop in mobile market untill 2014 & maybe during 14.04 release. -
Anoop KumarSorry I just mixed up two things....
Ubuntu for android and whole new Ubuntu OS for mobile.
Ubuntu for android: it will be an app which will offer a fully featured desktop OS on mobile
Ubuntu OS for mobile: launched yesterday which will be like windows8. it will be a mobile OS on mobile but when docked it gives a desktop layout on monitor just like regular desktop OS. -

Seems like Canonical is working too damn hard secretly.
Sad thing is you need beefy machine for Ubuntu OS to work without lag. -
Anoop KumarYes.. that's right.Projecting desktop OS from mobile hardware is not an easy task.
Even latest Ubuntu release 12.10, I find it very heavy.Virtual box was crying while running it consuming too much resources.
I hope they will manage to bring lighter OS with pretty effect and features.
