"Here's what the official press release won't tell you about Ubuntu 9.04, which formally hit the streets yesterday: its designers have polished the hell out of its user interface since the last release in October. Just like Microsoft has taken the blowtorch to Vista to produce the lightning-quick Windows 7, which so far runs well even on older hardware, Ubuntu has picked up its own game."

    I find the choice of brown interesting, and it reminds me of Apples (?) Zune ad which goes something like:
    "It's really nice, ..., ... brown"

    I use my iPhone regularly.

    And you use the latest Ubuntu release on your iPhone so you need it to support touch screen? If not then your post seems to have absolutely no relevance to this thread.
