Ubuntu Touch is still going. It's up to it's 13th release now and I don't think it's a failed project.
However I do think it's something that isn't yet ready for primetime, and it's going to be more a year or more before it is.
In the meantime they are trying to iron out bugs, improve features and get more developer attention for it. Recently they've added support for React Native: https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/react-native https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/react-native

- jbb555 10y agoI didn't know that ubuntu had a phone. I wondered if it could be installed on my own phone? Doessn't seem to mention that on their website. Oh well perhaps I'll buy one "Note — all our devices are currently sold out" Ok well I guess I'll stick to android then...

- ioddly 10y agoI just looked at the Jolla devices as well and they are also out of stock. I imagine it's probably harder to coordinate selling these devices in small batches; I wish there was at least some kind of availability list I could sign up for.
- padraic7a 10y agoYeah, it is a pity all the phones are sold out. It can be ported to other devices though, you might get some useful info here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices
- vamur 10y agoIt will fail if they don't improve performance and home UX. Adding APK support would also be a huge feature.
