Canonical推出Ubuntu手机

虽在预料之中，但仍让人大吃一惊：Canonical推出了Ubuntu手机。这是一种新的手机操作系统，拥有自己的用户界面和开发平台。它建立在Qt5和QML上，界面让我想起了N9上的MeeGo。它预计在2014年初上市，但是开发者预览今天已经公布。Ubuntu手机基于Android，除此之外是全新的。它拥有自己的用户界面，开发者可以用Qt5、QML，完全本地的OpenGL，C，C++，当然还有HTML5来开发应用。同Android一样，它可以跑在ARM和x86架构下，并且一些现存设备也会支持它。Canonical强调，对于手机制造商，“如果你已经制造了能够运行Android的手机，那么，为适应Ubuntu而做的改变会微不足道。”

Canonical unveils Ubuntu for phones

Expected, but still insanely cool: Canonical has just announced Ubuntu for phones. This is a new mobile phone operating system, with its own user interface and development platform. It's built around Qt5 and QML, and the interface reminds me of MeeGo on the N9. It's supposed to be on the shelves in early 2014, but the developer preview is out today.Ubuntu for phones uses Android as its base, but beyond that, is completely new. It has its own interface, and developers can write applications in Qt5 and QML, fully native OpenGL, C and C++, and of course HTML5. Like Android, it will run on both ARM and x86, and (some) existing devices will be supported as well. Canonical emphasises, winking to phone makers, that "if you already make handsets that run Android, the work needed to adopt Ubuntu will be trivial".
