Ubuntu Touch It is currently in a development phase that prevents an end-user experience after installing it on an Android smartphone or tablet. However, this is about to change fast. Its founder Mark Suttleworth has confirmed that a stable version can be downloaded and installed in a few weeks of the open source operating system, which would put Canonical's software in the battle royale among the other platforms.
In a short time we will be able to see how essential capacities work such as the management of WiFi and 3G, the camera, the function of calls and messages for smartphones, as well as the integration of applications that make use of these resources.
As we know Ubuntu Touch will not be alone in that fight to make a little gap between the infinity of iOS and Android tablets and smartphones, given that other free software systems such as Firefox OS y Tizen they will be there and because Microsoft and BlackBerry show signs of being stronger again.
The early days of this operating system were hopeful with over 75.000 developer downloads and curious advanced users. At the moment, only those who have a Nexus range device They have software with which you can do something but, as we recently warned you in Tabletzona, work to bring Canonical's operating system to a few more devices is underway and slowly coming to fruition. In total they are 25 more devices and you can see what they are as well as be aware of the evolution of the work in each of them on the wiki provided by the company itself.
This step will be one more in the line that Canonical has marked. First it will be the advanced users themselves who will decide to erase their Android operating system to put Ubuntu Touch, but to January 2014 we will see the first devices that they take it from the factory to the market.
