At the time of this article, Canonical's efforts with Ubuntu have done wonders for gaining new adopters for Linux. Sadly however, Canonical's efforts have yet to make the company profitable. Despite their financial shortcomings thus far, Canonical is bullish about their efforts with the Ubuntu phone and the Ubuntu tablet. Recently I was given the opportunity to try both firsthand. After spending some time getting to know the interface and understanding the core back-end, I was shocked to find that in many regards the Ubuntu developer preview had a ton going for it. In this article, I will share why I think this could be a winning alternative to Android on the tablet.
Quoting:I think Ubuntu's success won't hinge on mirroring applications found on other platforms; it'll be about Ubuntu allowing you to start an activity on one device and move it to another seamlessly.
and
Quoting:Think activities and experiences, not legacy applications and vendor lock-in. That kind of personal freedom will likely be what the Ubuntu Touch team will be striving for. .
The question, in my mid is, will the device manufacturers buy into that, and if not, can and will Canonical do it alone?
