Javanian: It's an old news, i heard of this about two weeks ago and there is a thread for this in the computer section...

Although, i really can't wait to use it...

lordZOUGA: Ubuntu is the most popular operating system
to be based on the Linux kernel - the code that
lets software and hardware work together. The London-based firm behind it, Canonical,
offers it for download free of charge and has
been helped by thousands of volunteers who
contribute to the open source project. The firm makes money back by offering
support and training and also plans to take a
share of sales from online marketplaces
offered by handset makers who adopt its
software. It estimates that more than 20 million PCs
already use it. In many cases these are older machines which
benefit from the fact it is less demanding on
computer power than Windows - and is virus-
free. Canonical says it will take a cut of sales from
manufacturer's stores The new version has been designed to work on
last and current-generation Android handsets
which share the Linux kernel. This means
Ubuntu can re-use existing software drivers to
control the hardware. There are already 45,000 native apps for the
system - albeit with several notable omissions
such as Adobe's Photoshop and the Office
suite, although alternatives do exist. Developers will be urged to adapt their apps'
interfaces to look different when running on a
phone's screen while offering the same core
functionality. To offer touch-based controls Ubuntu has
adopted the same QML (Qt modelling
language) framework being utilised by the
upcoming Blackberry 10 operating system. Mr Shuttleworth suggested this meant many
app makers would be familiar with the
technology. In addition Ubuntu can run web apps written in
the widely-adopted HTML5 language.
