That's very cool, I've wondered how usability of ubuntu touch is
progressing. I'd love to put it on my old transformer infinity, maybe
unity might actually be useful then. Yes, needs apps...
Re: Apps, They can do what makers of devices with less produced apps
attempt, emulate android runtime for importing apps (ahem, windoze and
blackberry), which has always been my vote for ubuntu touch (and
linux). Not sure if use of dalvik to art changes things, but there
never seemed to be any good ways short of running it in qemu or like vm
for hardware level abstraction under linux. And that was shoddy at best
for me.
There was the chrome hack for running android apps, but chrome hates amd
video, and amd hates everyone to produce suitable linux drivers. It
never worked for me, thanks gpu.
Anyone else know if there are better ways to run native apps under linux
or touch these days? Seems since the kernels aren't that different,
emulation could be made to work enough for the runtimes natively, and
apparently others have or are figuring it out in much more foreign
waters (ew, windoze phone).
