I want to know one thing about this phone that the page did not mention.
Can I `gcc-arm -o MyApp main.c` on my PC and run MyApp on any Ubuntu Edge phone, without having to unlock them or enable them for dev or any other nonsense? Or is development restricted to QML and HTML5?
- niemeyer 13y agoBehind the interface you have a normal Linux distribution, with packaging, apt-get, and all, so yes you can.
- null_ptr 13y agoWill such a program be a first-class citizen though? In other words, will the user have a harder time using it than using a QML/HTML5 app? I could see that be if only QML/HTML5 integrate well with the phone interface.
- niemeyer 13y agoIf you mean first-class as in look like an app like came with the phone, then there's no way around using a toolkit that has a familiar theme and behavior. The story is no different than a Linux desktop.

- dharma1 13y agoyou can use C++ for most things in your app and QML for UI only. or you can use C++ for everything. You're not required to use QML and HTML5 for your app, but in most cases (though not all) doing the UI in QML will be a good choice
