Ubuntu Mobile OS and all that jazz....

Some pretty exciting things have been happening in the mobile world lately, this morning especially.

To list a couple that stand out:
The HTC One phone was unveiled/Announced this morning. Cnet was one of the many organizations covering the event. The phone is said to run for $199.99 for 32GB version and $299.99 for the 64GB version. THAT my friends, is marketing. It has 2GB of RAM, a 1.7 GHz Quad Core CPU(Qualcomm Snapdragon), a 2.1MP front facing cam and a 4MP rear cam with Ultra Pixel technology which apparently makes the image the equivalent to a 8-13MP cam. So don't judge before you try it!

The Ubuntu Tablet OS was revealed today, making it the 4th platform Ubuntu is officially on. They have covered TV, Smartphones(Releasing Oct. 2013), and Desktop/Laptop computers.

I plan to make the eventual switch to 'everything Ubuntu', but until that day comes, I've been working on getting everything over to Android, or Android compatible, in a manner of speaking.
Since Ubuntu and Android share the same Kernel(Linux) it will be simple to run the two OS's side by side without having to reboot or change much of anything.

That does it for today, the interwebz are abuzz with more articles and resources pertaining to these two subjects I've covered, so enjoy the browsing!

Android fun!

Hello again!
I am here today to talk about the Android OS, devices that run said operating system and maybe a few other things.

Can you believe they released Android 4.1 already?? It's typically named after a candy or sugar food: Jellybean.
I find it quite ridiculous that they would release this OS when the last one(Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich) isn't even installed on 40% of capable devices...but that is the way of this world apparently.
It is quite new...so that might explain the inconsistencies in the stability and capability within different devices. A few posts ago, I touched on the subject of Android being so sporadic with it's reliability in different devices, and I must say, they are changing their game quite a bit. While there are still all over the place, it's not anywhere near as bad, PLUS the devices are becoming quite amazing. Good specs, reliable equipment, nice looking hardware, etc.
A few examples of this game change are the new Nexus Series by Google, Samsung and ASUS. The Nexus 7 is the new Google tablet. Affordable, looks nice, good specs. The Galaxy Nexus is the new tablet manufactured and branded by ASUS, my favorite brand in this market. Researching that would do you good. ;)
Aside from those, we have the Samsung Galaxy S III, the HTC One series(One X, One S, One V) and the countless new LG phones, plus ALL those new Droid phones by Motorola.
In the tablet world, we have the good ol' ASUS bringing us the new TF300 and the TF300G transformers plus the Transformer Infinity.

Most all of these devices are the top end smartphones/tablets on the market and they are starting to make a real impact in the general market of electronics and personal devices.

So I will end here, with a picture showing some of the devices discussed today.
I apologize for the scattered manner in which I presented this information, I am a little tired and it's kinda hot if you hadn't noticed...
