Canonical Announcing Ubuntu Tablet Tomorrow?

Posted by samzenpus on from the tomorrow's-tech dept.

hypnosec writes "Canonical has a countdown on its site that indicates a possible tablet announcement tomorrow. With the Ubuntu Touch developer preview launching this week, the announcement about a tablet or at least an operating system for a tablet from Canonical has, it seems, taken a backseat. From the countdown that reads "Tick, tock, tablet time!" it is evident that Canonical is going to make some announcement about tablets tomorrow."

    Unity already supports linux as of version 4.0.

    Oh -- you mean that shitty flashy interface thing; not the game engine.

  2. Ubuntu Unity worst phone/tablet OS alpha test ever by leftie · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Mark Shuttleworth wanted to develop tablet & phone OS with touch. He didn't have any way to get that built and tested, though. Shuttleworth just lied and said he wanted his "desktop of the future" to have huge buttons on it. Sure he did.

    I can't believe so many people defended Unity as a desktop OS. Can't believe so many suckers bought it.
