They're releasing images for this and the phone in a week.
- kaolinite 14y agoThen why not wait a week and announce it then?
- cryptoz 14y agoThere are plenty of reasons. Virtually no technology / OS vendor announces and ships on the same day. Apple gives a few weeks lead time between announcement and shipping too.
- kaolinite 14y agoThere's a big difference between providing the OS to download and shipping a product. I wouldn't expect to be able to buy it and have it 2 days later, but a pre-order option would be good.
- marcoceppi 14y agoSorry, they're releasing images in two days. Seriously, though! Not everything has to be instant. They're putting themselves out to gauge interest and probably lure OEM vendors to their booth at MWC.
- fusiongyro 14y ago"and probably lure OEM vendors to their booth at MWC" This is the whole problem, isn't it? When Google wants to make a device, they call up Asus or whomever and have it made. When Apple wants to make a device, they hire folks to do it, and those folks call the manufacturers for the parts. Why does Canonical expect the OEM to call them first on the basis of pretty mockups?
