Soon a New Player in the Smartphone Market – Ubuntu Linux
These days you’d see almost everyone sporting some trendy and compact computing devices in form of tablets, smartphones and handheld PCs. Until few years ago, it was just a dream to stay connected with the world without using the wired Internet. However, with constant evolutions in the infrastructure, hardware, and software technology, you can carry your own little computers in your pockets and use them for the purposes even bulky computers couldn’t do until nearly a decade ago.
Last few years have seen unprecedented evolutions in the wireless computing. With the advent of major operating systems, such as iOS, Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile, smartphones are increasingly becoming powerful and more versatile. At present, the market is flooded with countless phones powered by these powerful operating systems at various price levels. Amongst the latest operating systems, iOS and Android are the largest share holders of the smartphone market these days. At such a time, Canonical plans to launch the mobile version of its popular Ubuntu distribution of Linux.
Canonical have recently revamped the appearance of Ubuntu by transforming its Unity Desktop. Its user interface is intended to be compatible with the desktops as well as tablets such that it can be used in a search driven way. Since today’s computing has not remained itself limited to the computers, it’s a sensible thought to extend the capability of the popular Ubuntu operating system to be used on the handheld computing devices like smartphones and tablets as well.
However, a mobile-oriented version of Ubuntu will be launched only after reviewing the success of the recent transformation of the Unity Desktop. Whereas this might be an interesting news for the lovers of technology, it will be an equally interesting event for the veterans of the gadget market to see how the Ubuntu Linux fares in the fierce competition of the market already prevailed by giants like Apple and Google. It’s definitely not a fuel supply contract that has a relatively complex aftermath; it will be a beginning of a new and more competitive market scenario once a pure Linux distro like Ubuntu arrives into the bigger scene.
