London: Just weeks after showing off their new smartphone-ready Ubuntu OS, Canonical has launched a new tablet interface.
With the same code, Ubuntu OS supports both ARM and x86 processors, so it is very flexible to support many different types of hardware. The OS will be optimised for touch (obviously) and feature edge gesture navigation, removing the need for buttons.
The beauty of the Ubuntu OS is the unified interface, with the mobile device if you plug it into the TV screen, the TV interface will be activated and you will have more space to work.
The on board computer control also relies heavily on the manipulation gestures, have certain features in common with Windows 8 when you can also split the screen to work. Every time the software is scaled down in the small screen, it will automatically activate the phone interface.
The software can flexibly switch between tablet and phone interface also gives users a better experience. They call this feature Side Stage.
Canonical said Ubuntu tablet will support many different devices with diverse hardware, screen size from 6-inch to 20-inch. On the website they also listed a reference configuration with A15 processor, 2GB RAM and a minimum of 8GB of internal memory.
Ubuntu on tablets will be unveiled at MWC 2013, in Barcelona on February 25–28.
