hey guys we're here with Ubuntu booth I thought I'd cover this because Linus likes his iPhone way too much and we're just here to check out a demo so if you can show me out the phone goes sure so this is Ubuntu phone and we'll start by showing you our welcome screen we don't like to call it a lock screen because we want to welcome you to your phone and what we've done here is this is an infographic of things about you so this infographic will dynamically change throughout the day based on your social media feeds to kind of give you a visual representation of things about you okay so the color the intensity of the colors around this our golden art is going to change depending on what social media groups you have messages in and what not exactly correct very cool so this is Ubuntu this is not a port of a bun - this is the same operating system that runs on your desktop or in the cloud and as you see here from the left this is actually the unity launcher yeah okay so let's go ahead and get into the phone here so the first thing I'll show you is our home screen so this is our unity home lens and this is a dynamic lens that will change throughout the day as well as you do frequently used apps your missed calls new media that you may add to the phone etc our apps lens which is your currently running applications your installed apps and even apps available for download from our app store right and you guys will have a dedicated button for that on release I'm assuming exactly so let's go ahead and launch an application okay so launched our native photo gallery app and what we've tried to do our design philosophy here is you'll notice we have no physical buttons or no hard buttons or no soft buttons I noticed a lot of typing actions exactly we want to be completely gesture based right so if you notice here the whole screen is available for your content but if you you swipe up from the bottom of the screen you'll notice that we have control buttons on demand as you typically don't need them so right why have them always be there that makes sense yeah that's very cool so is there any multitasking capabilities or anything of the phone that you can show exactly so we use the left edge for launching apps the bottom edge for controls and the right edge here would be to actually switch between running applications so this is the way you would do multitasking very very cool very cool very quick very adds a lot to the fluidity of the phone that's very awesome so then how do you get back home to the unity screen it would be one quick gesture across the screen and that brings you back home so those are the three edges we have one other edge here which is the top edge and this if I use this allows me to get it all the settings within the phone from anywhere throughout the it just go along the top yet see how it selects different things as he swipes it across so you pull down and then go left and right very slight tastic awesome and you can just reply call someone back right in line here without ever having to leave what you're doing on the phone so so many times you probably been on your phone how do I turn off Bluetooth third how do I get back to a setting well they're all right here for you at your fingertips at all time right now this isn't based on Android so what kind of phones are we going to see this available so we're currently talking to a ton of manufacturers right now I can't say any right now but later in the year you'll you'll be seeing handsets come out my phone is it being developed showing on right now right so this is the Galaxy Nexus or the Nexus 3 which is the development phone from Google all right very cool development here guys we're finally seeing another big player in the smartphone market it's very nice speaking with you thank you subscribe blindness tech tips for all of our CES content have a good day you
