hey guys it's Branham in the front pocket now calm and in this video we're going to show you Ubuntu running on an HTC Touch pro2 the guys at x8 developers have figured out how to run this through Harry XE Ubuntu and I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing that I'm not a user of that operating system is a flavor of Linux and so just like Android you can run it through Harry XE on a windows mobile device and actually I've been messing around with this and it works quite well the keyboard support is there you can't make calls on it obviously but it's really fun especially if you are a Ubuntu user so I'm gonna zoom in on the screen a little bit and let's move around the screen so we've got the mouse cursor synchronised here and we just brought up the calendar it looks like so I'm gonna go up here to the upper left corner to the menu and I'm gonna go down to office and let's go to the word processor and see how that looks so you get the Ubuntu word processor on your touch pro2 pretty amazing stuff they've also got this working on the xperia x1 and let's go check the keyboard actually works when I slide off the keyboard and say hello this is a test and it's very small on the screen so I'm having trouble reading it and let's see if I'm able to highlight that text yep and let me change the font size got to be very precise with this stylus let's make it larger look at that it works so let's zoom back in on the screen and in the upper right corner I'm going to hit the X or at least try to it's very very tiny it says do you want to save and I'm gonna say close without saving and we get the calendar still kind of blocking the view there okay and that goes away I wonder how you hide the calendar and I don't use Ubuntu so I'm not really sure how to do these things so I'll go back up into this menu up in the upper left corner and let's go to off this and the word processor or the spreadsheet actually it's gonna take a moment but it's gonna launch it okay here we have the spreadsheet program let's see if we can move it around on the screen looks like I can't do that but perhaps I'm doing that command wrong we can tap along in the spreadsheet program just like you could do in Excel although of course this is the Ubuntu version I'm gonna exit out of that and see what else we have forget about that see what else we have in the menu up here so we can go to settings and appearance and then we get a few settings here although probably many of them don't work because we're running it on a device that really wasn't intended to run this operating system so we can bounce around here and change the different options again I'm not really sure what any of these things do because I don't use Ubuntu but if you do use Ubuntu then you'll probably feel comfortable on this in this environment I'll post a link on pocketnow.com on how to get this running it's very easy to do you load all the files onto your storage card run harity XE and within a couple minutes you've got you want to running on your touch pro2 with keyboard support so pretty cool stuff that's it for now
