Smartphones specifically designed and
built to run the Ubuntu mobile operating
system are going to start shipping in
October this year.
The information comes from Canonical
CEO and founder Mark Shuttleworth. He
added that Ubuntu for smartphones will
also hit a couple of "large geographic
markets". Although he didn't specify
them, he told WSJ that "North America is
absolutely a key market for Ubuntu.".
Additionally, according to Mr.
Shuttleworth, Ubuntu has got the
necessary attention from multiple
carriers, which are going to back the
newborn mobile OS at its launch.
However, which ones exactly remains a
mystery.
App developers and Ubuntu enthusiasts
will have access to the Linux-driven OS as
early as the end of this month when
Canonical is going to release a special
ROM for the Galaxy Nexus.
