You've got to remember that Canonical have openly said that they wish to be the open source version of Apple - and to even exceed them, if possible. So when this philosophy collides with the practical approach of the Nexus series then

It's worth noting that you don't lose your money if the funding fails - it will get refunded to you.

At the moment, they're averaging $53K every 15 minutes. I know it's the initial rush, but it does look promising.

You consider double the RAM, double the storage space, the fastest CPU available by HW sign-off, sapphire crystal and full metal uni-body to be 'almost the same specs'? I must admit, I do like the look of this phone and I've

If you've been following the phone industry for a while you'll realise this isn't all design cues from Microsoft. You'll find a lot more in common with Nokia's N9 than WP8.

I think you'll find that, with due respect, this will kick an iPhone 5's ass around the neighbourhood and back by the time it's released (pending funding success). Not least because it will have better specifications.

LinuxAdvocates... I wouldn't advise using that guy as a source of reliable information. For far more balanced views that aren't pro-Ubuntu (necessarily) it would be more advisable to visit a site like The Var Guy.

I think you need to watch the video. It definitely sounds like they've had talks with manufacturers and been heavily criticized for believing that the industry is ready for this kind of convergent device. As Mark said, manufacturers ne

Your username of 'one time only', is that a reflection on the proper use of an OTP? Is there a story there about a mistake? Just curious. =)

I think I may be confusing things by conflating disparate ideas. And this is the basis of my interpretation of your statement - which I still see as slightly ambiguous. Biblical hermeneutics is a separate concern from biblical inerrancy. Th

"Prior to that, most Christians understood that parts of the Bible describe real truth, but within the mold of figurative stories." Citation needed, otherwise you're just making stuff up. =)

Well, my specific denomination named themselves evangelical presbyterian, but we're fundamentalists. While you can glean that we have a Presbyterian form of government and purport to be evangelical in nature, to be honest, you cannot read t

It is a very active project. I'm using it at home with a 12Tb server for a central storage point in our household. It's been great for us. It is quite basic at the moment, but has a tonne of promise. Haven't found it to be buggy myself.

Logical fallacy. You've built a strawman, based your argument off it, and then contradicted yourself.

No, no its not running inside Android. Android and its Java environment run alongside / at the same time as ubuntu.

It's a full Ubuntu Desktop. Dock your phone and run "sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping". Or, alternatively, just open the Software Centre and remove it from there.

No it isn't an app. It is actually the full Ubuntu OS running on your android device. The point wasn't for it to be a touch screen, the point was that you could dock your device and suddenly be using a full desktop OS with all your desktop

Did you watch the video? You dock your phone and you've got the full desktop. This ubuntu phone is literally the FULL ubuntu desktop with a new UI on top. The only thing docking does is switch you to your desktop environment.

by socceroos 14y ago
You can dock your smartphone and have a complete desktop environment - no half-assed stuff - a full on desktop environment with all your desktop grade apps. That's even better than WP8 can do. That alone is huge.

He never said it did. He said that they can use Android kernel and drivers. That doesn't mean it's using Android's java environment, just the kernel and drivers beneath it.

It has great performance. And on top of that, it is as stable as a rock. Disclaimer: I love microkernels.

@tesseractive - Canonical has been working on multitouch in Ubuntu for a while now. Unity (the main Ubuntu desktop environment) was built for this very purpose. Canonical has been conceptualizing and building the environment for this very p
