Ubuntu – the new platform in town (coming in 2014)
iOS, Android, and the rest better watch out with Ubuntu looking to disrupt the market with it’s own OS for mobile phones in 2014. I have to say, from what I’ve seen SO FAR. I like what I see, take a look.
CEO Jane Silber said,
“We expect Ubuntu to be popular in the enterprise market, enabling customers to provision a single secure device for all PC, thin client and phone functions,”
“Ubuntu is already the most widely used Linux enterprise desktop, with customers in a wide range of sectors focused on security, cost and manageability.
“We also see an opportunity in basic smartphones that are used for the phone, SMS, web and email, where Ubuntu outperforms thanks to its native core apps and stylish presentation.”
What’s their secret sauce though?
Ubuntu on mobile is claiming it will allow Canonical to offer a “single operating system for client, server and cloud, and a unified family of interfaces for the phone, the PC and the TV.”
“We are defining a new era of convergence in technology, with one unified operating system that underpins cloud computing, data centers, PCs and consumer electronics,” said Shuttleworth.
Here’s a little video detailing what they think about how they’re going to disrupt the marketplace.
