Though I may very well be missing something.
Yea, Ubuntu for Android was a cool idea that sadly, as I understand it,
got no uptake from manufacturers. So Canonical just pushed ahead with
their own full-Ubuntu phone and tablet OS and UI, and played everything
much quieter until they'd actually landed hardware partners.
It's obviously early days, but I think there's much to be quietly
confident about: there's a lot to like in the OS and app design, and it
is now by a long stretch the most free (as in freedom) phone OS available.
Interesting. I'll have to look into that more. (Such as, will it run on
Android phones or does it need separate hardware?)
