The new mobile operating system based on GNU / Linux already come to light within this calendar year.
After an excellent presentation at CES in Las Vegas last month, Canonical is able to attract good attention behind its new mobile product, both between and among the newcomers to the trade.
Despite this, many predicted for the new creature of Canonical realizations very long time, as it lacked any kind of agreement with a manufacturer's hardware and software base with which to launch the product.
The most optimistic spoke of 2014 as the base year for the construction of the first branded Canonical Ubuntu Phone.
Instead the product will be in the light already by the end of this year, perhaps in conjunction with the release of Ubuntu 13:10
Here are the statements of Canonical about Ubuntu Phone:
Smartphones running the Ubuntu open source operating system will be available to customers beginning in October 2013, According to Mark Shuttleworth, founder and CEO of Canonical Canonical Ltd. Provides services for corporate customers using Ubuntu open source software. Application developers will have access to the smartphone operating system, Which is optimized for the Galaxy Nexus handset manufactured by Samsung Electronics Co., in late February.
Translating in short: the first smartphone Ubuntu will come to light in October 2013.
Developers can access the operating system code at the end of February 2013.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be used as a "base development" of apps and to test the first release of the OS.
Another important aspect emerges from the press: the launch of the product will not be available all over the world, but only in two specific geographical areas
Mr. Shuttleworth said the new phone operating system will be available in two large geographic markets in October, and while he did not commit to being North America One of Those, he said North America is "absolutely a key market for Ubuntu." He said the operating system has drawn interest from carriers as well, many of Which are eager to break up the smartphone market hegemony of Apple and Google. Mr. Shuttleworth declined to identify carrier or handset partners.
The product will be available for sale only in two regions (at least at launch), and Mark Shuttleworth indicates how the North America market as an "important" and therefore candidate to be one of the first areas to benefit from smartphone Canonical.
No other voice betrays about it: many hope that Europe itself to be chosen as the market "startup" along with North America, but many realistically declare that the product can be more successful in areas with rapid technological expansion as the ' Far East (China and India).
Excluding the smartphone dedicated, Mark promises that the OS will be compatible and easily installable on a large number of Android devices already on the market
"Ubuntu will be available on a full range of devices, Including desktop and tablet computers, potentially providing corporate IT executives a way to reduce the number of devices they purchase and manage, and would allow users to access all manner of corporate data through a single, pocket-sized device. 'You can share Windows desktop apps to the phone,' said Mr. Shuttleworth During a meeting in New York Tuesday. "
The OS will be available for the tablet, and will greatly facilitate the transition to a unique ecosystem in the corporate IT.
There is also talk of complete sharing of devices compatible with Windows applications, but this has not been investigated.
Unfortunately does not emerge anything about price and technical details of the device launched, not even a hint about partner chosen for the hardware (Samsung?).
As regards price, many have made a prediction on the basis of technical data shown on the official website
For these hardware features estimates of prices are:
€ 200 or less for the base model, at least € 350 for the high-performance model.
We hope that these statistics reflect real prices for sale, more than adequate for your product for the price "aggressive" to succeed in a crowded market such as smartphones, and Mark choose Europe as the startup market.
