The Little Guy Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 So, I was reading some news, and saw that Ubuntu is planning on releasing "Ubuntu for phones" this month, I don't think it has a name (maybe), but I am kind of excited! http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone This Phone OS has its own SDK, and well it doesn't run android apps so IDK if it will become popular because of that, as Android already has a large following. Do you think people will design apps for it? I guess the download that will come out this month will be for Galaxy phones, but it doesn't sound like a "Full Release" http://www.nawdog.com/?p=37 What are your thoughts on this?

trq Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'm not at all impressed by Ubuntu on the Desktop or server so I don't think there phone version will impress me that much either.

tibberous Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 What are your thoughts on this? Seems pretty stupid? The problem is that Android is already free and damn near perfect. Maybe if they made it so that you could connect a moniter, keyboard and mouse and turn your phone into an actual computer it would be worth looking at.

I'd like to see more done in getting PHP to be a 'real' programming language. I use it for chron daemons, shell scripts... everything you can use Python for, but people always treat Python like it's a real language and PHP isn't.
