2013-01-11
hey guys this is Austin and Stimpy reporting live from CES 2013 with do bunching for foam so of course a bunch has been around for desktops and also announced TV last year but that look going to be moving into the phone going up against Android Windows Phone iOS all that kind stuff so let's take a look so the first thing you need to know is that this is not Android this is not anything else now I could scan or anything like that this is an all new OS based on Ubuntu now will be running on a couple of phones so right now is running on the Galaxy Nexus it will be available on new phones starting late this year early next year something like that the entire interface is based around gestures so for example if you want to go ahead and go to your some of your favorite or recent apps you write them from the left you gonna pull up a context menu swipe up from the bottom and from the top you can pull down your notifications and your swipe between battery and all that kind of fun stuff so when using it a lot of normal things you expect to see in the phone really isn't there so for example there's no real homescreen there are multiple screens which for example will have everything from your normal apps so something that you may have running to the App Store it'll all be on the same page so just everything apps or music or videos or anything like that so it's an interesting idea now as using it I kind of got the impression that this is going to be something that's gonna take a little bit of a learning curve because it is so different but I like a lot of this stuff some of the gestures seem like it's gonna be a little difficult like when you're swiping left to right you might open you know the context menu or this or that so there's some things that definitely think may need to get a little bit tweaked but overall this looks like really cool stuff anyway guys it's gonna be about it for my hands on Ubuntu for phones again it will be available late this year early next year it will be available as far as being able to download for yourself on the Galaxy Nexus and here in the next week or two so if you guys want to go ahead and try it for yourselves you definitely can do that if you have a Galaxy Nexus and again shipping devices would be later this year or early next year you guys enjoy definitely should leave this video a thumbs up and if you're interested in more CES 2013 content like this be sure to subscribe anyway guys I will catch you next time
