Ubuntu Phone OS Demonstration by Mark Shuttleworth at CES 2013

I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Shuttleworth tonight, and this was a quick demonstration he gave me of the Ubuntu Phone OS running on top of a GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

More Information:

  • Mark mentioned that the Galaxy Nexus would be able to run the full desktop version of Ubuntu Phone OS, but it wouldn’t be optimal without at least a dual core, 1.5Ghz processor in your device.
  • I tried to get my hands on the device, but they wouldn’t allow it, unfortunately.
  • Shuttleworth also mentioned that a brand new build of Ubuntu Phone OS went out today (1/8/13) and that it significantly improved performance, and that things were only going to get better.
  • I should be able to get more information, if needed, at their booth tomorrow during the actual conference
