> don't know if it landed yet. How can the consumer know about all currently available features in Ubuntu phones? A dedicated page for that would allow one to check "if Ubuntu is ready for me".

Looks interesting, thanks. (The average Joe however will require a solution similar to iTunes's backup feature.)

Thanks. It's just that the average user will never accept such hurdles. An automated backup solution is really one of the most important things to have in phones. No backup solution means one must be OK with losing all the data as soon

It's "funny" how Obama chooses his decisive moments: He signed the NDAA act [0] into law on New Year's Eve a few years ago while every one was out partying. And now this. Do you see the pattern? [0] Military can detain

What I urgently need to see before I can buy an Ubuntu phone is an integrated 1-click backup solution: I want to connect my Ubuntu phone to my Ubuntu notebook and click "Backup now", to have everything I need synced to my notebook

Obama is clearly pro-mass-surveillance [0] and certainly has been all the time. So there is no way he will pardon Snowden (even if it's The Right Thing to do). [0] Barely a week before he leaves office, U.S. President Barack Obama’s a

Those who have educated themselves about the Snowden leaks know that countries such as the US and the UK do by no means lag behind China, as far as mass surveillance is concerned.

Nobody needs Russia to understand one should not use any of the US mass surveillance machines (Facebook|Google|Twitter|LinkedIn/Microsoft|Yahoo|Apple|etc). We just needed Snowden and that we got.
