hey mr. fly with a virgin I'm taking a quick first look at the brand new freshly announced you've been to phone OS so this is what canonical comes to welcome screen not a lock screen which you get actually unlock by swiping to one side six to the home screen or swiping in from the other side you can get a list of your most regularly used applications and then jump right into the application itself same functionality is available when you have an app open you swipe down get yourself to the home screen like so you can swipe down from the top like so and bring in the messages if you swipe down on the little messages icon right here it's up we can take looky battery settings connectivity sound etc if you swipe in from the right you bring in the latest application and in chronological order for the other applications that you might have had open there's a little bit of lag but obviously that is to be expected these are the first demo devices we look at a development version of the OS it's running on Galaxy Nexus canonical promised that they'll have the images for you to download install on your Galaxy Nexus with the next couple of weeks and it expects developers start building out the ecosystem for punchy phones using those devices which the first shipping devices then we might see early in 2014 but the first time that you might see something similar to this will be winter for Android shipping phones without always should be coming out some point 2013 but it's just a very quick look at his swipe centric its face it reminds me of the Nokia n9 and the fact that there are basically no buttons here everything is swipe-based edge based and it does look good and attractive provided this lag is some point eliminated
