He said that they are the real key people and his source of allies to create a mindful and marketable version of operating system. Additionally, Canonical is hopeful that Ubuntu for Androids on mobile platform will mark the difference despite of the monopoly of Google’s Android, Windows and iOS in the market today. However, its unique special features will definitely capture the consumers. Aside from that, this great news is beneficial for manufacturers because they can use the same specifics in making Ubuntu-powered smartphones as the Android smartphones.

Jane Sibler, the CEO of Canonical cited that she is expecting that the new technology will be launched formally to the market in the next couple of months. Aside from that, Shuttleworth also noted that the company will push through the Ubuntu for Android – even if they are continuously pushing forward Ubuntu phones. In fact, the Ubuntu operating system and its own application can simultaneously tandem with Androids smartphones. Technology savvy individuals are always looking forward to some new features that can be explored and this kind of development is always perceived as a healthy competition in the market place. Another interesting thing to watch is the marketing strategy that Canonical will use to attract buyers.
