Canonical’s Looking To Launch Mobile Ubuntu


Do we need yet another mobile OS? Canonical seems to think so, as it’s on the hunt for a developer for yet another crack at a phone version of Ubuntu.

Whether that means Canonical’s having yet another push at mobile Ubuntu — something it’s investigated in the past — or just putting a little more money behind the Ubuntu for Android initiative isn’t entirely clear, although the wording of the job ad — which you could technically apply for, given there’s no set home base for it — does simply reference “Ubuntu as a smartphone OS”.

Is it too early to make the “This is the year of Android on the Smartphone Desktop” gags yet? [Canonical via Slashgear]
