Canonical recently showed the new OS they are working on.. for phones. Apparently it will replace android OS from phones such as the Galaxy Nexus and actually plan on competing against other phone OS like Android. it seems it will be released early 2014.

Well this is interesting. Very interesting. I like the interface a lot. The first image brought memories if Windows 8 but it looks a lot better than Windows Phones. Would like to see a BETA version released sometime this year hopefully.
it does look very interesting. specially since they plan on taking out all buttons and just using the screen to move around, hopefully we do see a beta and 2014 seems a long time to release it, specially if it is intended to be used on the galaxy nexus
Oohh. No buttons. That's pretty cool. Is there a phone that doesn't have any buttons? Yeah, 2014 does seem like a while. They probably want to fix out everything in iOS and Android that was wrong. I'm a pretty big fan of the Galaxy Nexus. It's a Google phone and I've always being an admirer of Google's work.
lol, was that sarcasm? i cant tell. but yeah, in that keynote i added they dont even use virtual buttons to move through the UI the galaxy nexus is a nice phone, but by that time, it will be more than outdated hardware-wise
Dunno. Might've been. I do like no buttons. But all the figermarks will be sideways and vertical now. I'm not so sure. The Nexus stood ahead of it's time, that's for sure. Whether it will stay there or fall behind by 2014, that's up for debate.
pretty hard to tell. ubuntu on pc is pretty good, so we might just wait and see, hopefully more devices get support soon after release. and more dev support aswell if it wants to compete to android and IOS. i really like it though, it looks sleak and elegant
