#Technology #cr: @watsonila The new Ubuntu Edge Smartphone – What to expect (Video): The Ubuntu Edge is Formula 1 ‘s superphone, a catalyst to drive the next generation of personal computing. It is the next generation of personal computing: smartphone and desktop PC in one state-of-the-art device. How best can we put it? The Ubuntu Edge project aims to do the same for the mobile phone industry — to provide a low-volume, high-technology platform, crowdfunded by enthusiasts and mobile computing professionals. A pioneering project that accelerates the adoption of new technologies and drives them down into the mainstream. The device is a proving ground for the most advanced mobile technologies on the horizon, a showpiece for true mobile innovation. And at the heart of it all is convergence: connect to any monitor and this Ubuntu phone transforms into an Ubuntu PC, with a fully integrated desktop OS and shared access to all files. What’s might be of this cool gadget? *Hardware: - Textured amorphous metal body, 4.5in screen , High resolution HD crystal clear display *Perfomance: - Multi-core processor, at least 4GB of RAM and a massive 128GB of storage. *Software: - The Ubuntu Edge will dual-boot both the Ubuntu phone OS and Android, and convert into a fully integrated Ubuntu desktop PC. *Technical: - Dual boot Ubuntu mobile OS and Android - Fully integrated Ubuntu desktop PC when docked - Fastest multi-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage - 4.5in 1,280 x 720 HD sapphire crystal display - 8mp low-light rear camera, 2mp front camera - Dual-LTE, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4, NFC - GPS, accelerometer, gyro, proximity sensor, compass, barometer - Stereo speakers with HD audio, dual-mic recording, Active Noise Cancellation - MHL connector, 3.5mm jack - Silicon-anode Li-Ion battery - 64 x 9 x 124mm And me, a developer? HTML5 apps written for other platforms can be brought over to Ubuntu with ease, and any web property can quickly be adapted to run as a web app, with its own icon and access to system services. For richer applications, use our QML toolkit for amazingly productive high-performance engineering. But best of all, using the Ubuntu SDK you can write and upload a single native application that has desktop, tablet and phone interfaces. It’s a developer’s dream. So guys, watch the space. We’ll bring you even more on the Ubuntu Edge.
