Ubuntu for Mobile is Coming!

It would be awesome if they could get the program Wine to run on Ubuntu mobile. You could have windows programs on the go.

I love Ubuntu! I actually have tried to switch over to it multiple times from Windows, but I always ended up switching back just for the comfort of using Windows since I've been using it for so long and know my way around it a lot better. I hope that putting Ubuntu on mobile devices will make it more mainstream and accessible for people to learn and use. It really is an amazing operating system, and very well polished, it just needs a larger user base to get it more supported. It's definitely a step in the right direction in my opinion, as long as there is still a normal desktop version, unlike how Windows 8 fused the two platforms.

The most significant implication is that Ubuntu on a phone will be... Ubuntu... a full fledged GNU/Linux system on your phone. I'm interested to see how they manage the software stack differently from Android. While Android does run a variation of the Linux kernel, it doesn't run code (just-in-time compiled bytecode, etc) in the same way that your typical GNU/Linux system does, so I'm looking forward to see which approach Ubuntu takes.

Can't wait to see what Ubuntu has to offer

I don't like how it allows webpages to automatically send notifications to you. I can see this potentially lead to spamming me with random crap I don't care about. I also think the UI is a tad confusing and if I make a wrong swipe could put me in the wrong place. Though I like the idea of being able to run linux native apps.

I don't think its going to be much different from android since they are both basically based on Linux.

It got my attention for sure. One more competitor on the phone market could do good. And it looks very nice and easy on the eye. I got Ubuntu on my PC so if they can match that on the phone I could be pleased with it. Lets see!

It looks like the push android needs to up its game and iOS is just not innovating enough to keep up ...

I am really interested in the Ubuntu Phone, or the Ubuntu OS. They are supposed to be very powerful. I like that they can become a PC as well, running a great desktop OS. They will be in solid 3rd beating Windows phone and then maybe go further... Just my opinion! I might pick one of these up!
