The point of this project is designed specifically to optimize the base system of Ubuntu including CPU, memory, and power issues. Canonical will not be working on changes to the Ubuntu UI or Unity with 13.04, those changes are tentatively scheduled for 14.04 which is due in April 2014.
Now that is a real Open Source OS on a tablet.
Why Ubuntu? There are a couple of reasons for that. First, we’re just starting development and working with a single distribution is critical when you are experimenting, as we are. It reduces the variability of the testing space and makes early iteration easier and faster. Secondly, Ubuntu is a popular distribution and has recognition with the general gaming and developer communities. This doesn’t mean that Ubuntu will be the only distribution we support. Based on the success of our efforts around Ubuntu, we will look at supporting other distributions in the future.

This is a very nicely done interactive tour of Ubuntu for those who have never used it before. It acts like a live Ubuntu Desktop (well, not really, you don’t have all the functionality of course), and lets you explore around and see what is like.
Why carry two devices, when you could carry only one? Your next high-end smartphone has far more horsepower than you’ll need on a phone, and more than enough for a laptop. So we’ve brought Android together with Ubuntu, the world’s favourite free operating system, to give you a full productivity desktop that fits in your pocket. Android for the phone experience, Ubuntu for the desktop, all on one device, running at the same time.
So forget the office PC. Just dock your corporate phone and enjoy Ubuntu. Anywhere. One address book. One set of bookmarks. One place for your text messages and email. No more typing on a tiny screen when all you want is a keyboard and a mouse. Seamless integration of your desktop and mobile worlds. Brilliant.
The answer to a question no one asked…
Sigo pensando que es un error el cambio al bendito dock en el lado izquierdo, eso puede que haga sentido en una computadora con una pantalla táctil o una tablet, pero no en un desktop.
La gente de Ubuntu acaba de anunciar en CES la disponibilidad de un sistema operativo para televisores, basado en Ubuntu. Se ve bien, pero la pregunta, los proveedores de contenido, entiéndase Hollywood, querrán otro compañero mas? Los fabricantes de televisores que ya tienen casi todos una plataforma propia, o van a usar Google TV, les interesará?
It’s a simple viewing experience for online video, both your own and routed over the internet,” Jane Silber, Canonical’s CEO told PC Pro
El tiempo dirá, todavía tienen el arduo camino de convencer a las compañías que tienen el contenido, convencer a los fabricantes de televisores, y esperan sacar el producto a finales del 2012. Por ahora, lo clasifico en la categoría de “vaporware” de CES, que es como el 95% de las cosas que se anuncian en ese show.
