agreed I just think perhaps you should update the OP to make it really clear those are the specs for OEM's, and not necessarily for installing the system. Lets face it, alot of people that will want to try this out will not dig into threads for information or search, they will read the OP and post "well that is screwed, I can't run the GNEX image on my GNEX".

I'm gunna try it. I have loved linux since Caldera haha, now a dirty word in the industry. As long as the repository is well maintained and managed, this could be wildly successful.

Nice to see this working been waiting for ever for something new sadly we wont see it on phones like mine the GS2 till a years later only thing is just like windows phone it can be all about the apps accessibility

Having actually gotten the chance to play with one at CES, I can honesty say I prefer it over android. Its just crisp and smooth. I can definitely see it requiring a couple changes (if the devs don't implement them, or have yet, i'm not sure) but overall I am thoroughly impressed. It's easier to pick up and "learn" to use than iphone/android, and maybe winphone. I see a ton of potential for it.

However, the biggest issue with it, as it has been touched upon in this thread, is it will be difficult for some to swap, mostly due to the apps people have bought and are used to, and the time/money that people have invested in their current setup.

I know it seems like that but I don't think people will be swapping at least not at the moment since you could run it on a android device they might buy a another android device or buy a unbuntu phone and still own a android device I know that's what I'm gonna do unless dual booting is a possibility

Btw at CES did you get to interact with it meaning u were doing the controlling of the OS or did a representative do it and let u watch

At first, he held it and showed me, then we talked for awhile and then i held it in my hand and controlled it. I plan on picking up a used gnex within the next few days to get ready to play with the image when it drops. Seeing as how it can run on an android phone, I think dual booting will be a very good possibility.

Also, me and one of the guys there talked at length about the tablet they'll be announcing soon as well.

Ubuntu phone os looks a little lighter on phones internal hardware. They also said when the phone is docked it will convert into the full desktop version. That could be a win for people like me who own a quad core Samsung note 2 that would like to dock and mirror it on a monitor for use as a pocketable pc. I'm a photographer and would like to have this type of accessibility for my phone and have access to the array of free high end photo editing apps available for Ubuntu. I've never used Ubuntu a day in my life but this will make me consider trying it.

^Hmmm docking has its fair share of advantages but i doubt you'll be able to run - 'high end' photo editing apps with the previous gen soc in note ii

 

[rekrapg]

Definitely try it, ubuntu is pretty awesome, gaming is the only thing that keeps Windows on my second partition

The way ubuntu will cash out!!!!!!!

While ubuntu phone does look visually appealing i dont think they can pull it off. They say they can appeal to the low end users but i HIGHLY doubt it i mean the "dock to desktop" feature is as tech geek as it gets, that being said ITS THE GREATEST IDEA IVE EVER HEARD!!!! Ive been dreaming of the day i can dock my phone to a moniter of some sort and hop into a desktop os this is revolutionary! But i say ubuntu's best bet is to sell this idea and software to google and let them implement it and perfect it BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS WILL BE THE NEXT HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER FEATURE IN THE HIGHEND SUPERPHONE MARKET! Its genius to say the least plus i think they can make a pretty penny and still stay relevant. This if it happens will be the next step in the superphone world so much so i cant bet 100% that apple will feed into it without choice to stay relevant follow probably 2 years after google lol you know how late they can be

It seems like your personal preference is blocking your logical thought. Think of the question at hand do you think Ubuntu can" BLOW UP AND MAKE TONS OF MONEY?" Do you really think a company can come in at this point in the smartphone industry and make a dent? MICROSOFT are the pioneers of THE SMARTPHONE ITSELF and because of their break from the industry they can barely keep up with ios and android and thats only because they are one of the wealthiest companies in the world so they have the means to fund a "comeback" that is falling short. I mean i really hope ubuntu phone does make it big but that is a LOOOOOOOOOONG SHOT so what i was suggesting was a cash out/partnership with someone who has the power to actually pull this off id prefer google because im an android fanboy and would love that "dock to desktop" feature but Microsoft is also an option and in many ways might be a more solid one because the majority still uses windows so the "mainstream" will be more comfortable taking their windows phone 8 phone docking it and jumping into just windows 8 that being said i would rather them not sell alllllll the way out lol and stick with Ubuntu software i personally love Ubuntu but their launching strategies have proven to SUCK!

When he said you missed his point he meant that canonical is FULLY in support of open source meaning their not in it for the money when is the last time you heard of a company offering a mobile OS to its competitors free of charge even going out of their way to include support for android kernels that can't be good for business but that's not what canonical cares about they have been doing the whole ubuntu PC thing and don't even come close to Microsoft's profit margins but they still continue because money is not their objective they simply want to make everyone's life easier so selling to Google would completely defeat the purpose of what they're trying to do

Its not for money ... ... ... ... ... Come on now ppl lets not be so naive android is the pioneer of open source EVERYTHING IS FOR MONEY i say they partner with someone who already perfected the industry and progress that way. They are doing the same things they want to just with a more powerful company backing them. Google can also send ubuntu desktops into the next level if they adopt it, its a win win situation ppl
