The good: You get a full linux distro on a mobile device. This is the best thing that happened to modern mobile devices since ... well ever.
Modern mobile devices being smartphones and tablets.
The bad: Like every other "mobile OS" out there it is strongly biased toward native apps. But in this case it's at least understandable as there is an actual linux distribution under the hood.
Also i have a feeling that they'll probably lack behind in the mobile department for years when compared to Android especially if they can't get some big OEM partners on board as has already been said in some comments.
- Shorel 14y agoAndroid does not have native apps. They all run in the Dalvik JVM. iOS has native apps. They let the Apple devices do the same stuff with a slower processor, and have longer battery life, and providing a more fluid and smoother operation. What do you want? An OS full of JavaScript apps that burns its battery in 6 hours? I for one, welcome Ubuntu and its upcoming native and open applications as the best thing to happen in the mobile space.
