CES: Jono Bacon Talks Up Ubuntu for Phones (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on Thursday February 7, 2013 @06:25AM from the a-smart-phone-for-human-beings-and-other-creatures dept.

One of the more interesting conversations Tim Lord had at CES this year was with Ubuntu Community Manager Jono Bacon, who was showing off the Ubuntu Phone that is supposed to be released later this year. According to the Ubuntu website, it "delivers a magical phone that is faster to run, faster to use and fits perfectly into the Ubuntu family." Big words, but if Ubuntu parent Canonical can live up to them, the mobile phone market may soon have an interesting new operating system competitor to shake things up.

While BB10 can use Android BB10 is also using QML, the same as this phone.
QML is overall better doe mobile development, while Qt people work on bringing QML to iOS and android. Soon one runtime will run on them all, including Ubuntu Phone
