Ubuntu for Tablets Introduced

Ubuntu for tablets

Canonical introduced its new version of Ubuntu especially designed for tablets, the platform will be available on four different type of devices – smartphones, TV’s, desktop computers and tablets.

Ubuntu Mobile will be officially available for download on Thursday, including the smartphones version. If you are curious about the platform, there is a real preview thanks to the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets and it’s not about the desktop version of Ubuntu just ported to work on the tablets, but for a completely new software with Canonical’s official instructions on how-to get it running.

If you’re still wondering what’s the point of yet another mobile OS on the market, keep in mind that Ubuntu will be a sort of “universal” platform – it will work with the same code on different hardware (smartphones, tablets, desktop computers).
