Ubuntu Touch News #1: Canonical has successfully implemented the Ubuntu Shop.
Canonical has created the Ubuntu Shop application, to allow the users to make online shopping from their Ubuntu Touch powered mobile phone. It may be good if the Ubuntu developers would manage to create a native eBay or Amazon app, in order to attract more fans, since the two online “stores” have many users.
The Ubuntu Touch users will be able to manage the shipping card and payment directly from Unity, without needing to access the Ubuntu shop via the internet browser.
Ubuntu Touch News #2: A new Ubuntu Touch demonstration video has been created
Canonical has been working hard in the latest months, in order to get Ubuntu Touch 1.0 closer to a stable and reliable Ubuntu mobile operating system. For now, it is officially support only on the Google Nexus smartphones and tablets: Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Nexus 10.
The youtube user Novelldesktop has created a presentation video of Ubuntu Touch running on a LG Nexus 4 Phone, presenting us the user interface and the menu. Among others, the video demoed how easy is for the users to access the popular internet services Facebook or Gmail, the management of calles and SMS messages and the installation of some Click packages.
As a reminder, both Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander and Ubuntu Touch 1.0 will be released on the 17th of October, 2013. While Canonical has decided not to use Mir/XMir as the default on Ubuntu Saucy from performance reasons, Mir will be used on Ubuntu Touch 1.0.
