Yes. Shuttleworth has even said that the *entire* purpose of this campaign is to judge if there's a market for *super high end* phones.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [Design]Toolbar on desktop

Permanently up, and moved to the top. That's my idea of a simple step in the right direction. I mean, it's fine being at the bottom on desktop, it's just the opposite of normal. We could move the window control bar (maximize, minimize, etc.) to the bottom too and see how that goes... but I don't kn

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Memory question

Android only does that when it has to, meaning devices with low memory available. I'm sure Ubuntu will kill apps when it has to, and not a moment sooner. Sincerely, Josh On Jul 13, 2013 11:28 AM, "Luke Bryan" wrote: > Greetings, > > I was wondering about apps for Ubuntu-touch regarding memory. W

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Ubuntu Touch Summary (week 26)

It doesn't look professional for it to *not* connect. The only solution to this discussion that seems reasonable to me is to have the 1st boot screen provide a two button UI where you can select to turn on mobile data or to continue with it remaining turned off. My experience is that the default b

[Ubuntu-phone] [design] [development] Some thoughts about Ubuntu touch on the Nexus 10

So, for the first time in months, I decided to wipe my carefully configured version of Android in order to try out Ubuntu touch. A few things struck me immediately. - The return to home animation *still* lags. Why?!? This is *the most* noticeable piece of lag in the whole OS. Come on guys... grab

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] port Ubuntu Touch to Samsung i7500

it is based on an ARM11 processor, and last I heard, Ubuntu does not support that old of a processor at all. the microarchitecture is not supported. Even if it could run on that microarch, it would be an unpleasant experience because of how unimaginably slow that class of processor is, and the inte

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Miracast Support with Mir

This is actually a good point. I'd love to see straight AirPlay mirroring support integrated into the default build. This is a fairly extensive unofficial spec for the protocol. I wonder if anyone with more technical display-oriented knowledge than I have would

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] UI Toolkit API update: Theming

Does anyone know if Ubuntu touch will support old-world style theming? Back in the day, I remember Gnome 2 being extremely themeable. Ubuntu touch will be using standardized controls all drawn via Qt. It seems like system-wide user theme support would be fairly straightforward to support, with app

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Emergency call

how would you click the SOS signal? and how would the power button distinguish between a normal click and an emergency click? it is important to be able to contact emergency response teams, but not accidentally doing it is even more important, otherwise it will be a "boy who cries wolf" situation.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Voice Recognition

there seems to be a basic system for voice recognition, designed to control the currently open app based on a limited command vocabulary. I'm curious if there are any plans for a Siri-like assistant, maybe for the 14.04 release? and how accurate is the dictation software? is it good enough for stra

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [design] Intended usage of the page stack navigation model

I'd also like to see some official opinions from the design team about all of this. Solid Explorer (the best file manager on Android) uses a single view rather than a page stack, and it works very well, but I have no opinion about whether a page stack is good or bad for a file manager. It seems lik
