Ubuntu Edge: Things Just got Crazy


Brought to you by: System76

In the car industry, Formula 1 provides a commercial testbed for cutting-edge technologies. The Ubuntu Edge project aims to do the same for the mobile phone industry – to provide a low-volume, high-technology platform, crowdfunded by enthusiasts and mobile computing professionals. A pioneering project that accelerates the adoption of new technologies and drives them down into the mainstream.

The specs:

  • Fastest multi-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage

  • 4.5in 1,280 x 720 HD sapphire crystal display

  • 8mp low-light rear camera, 2mp front camera

  • Dual-LTE, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4, NFC

  • GPS, accelerometer, gyro, proximity sensor, compass, barometer

  • Stereo speakers with HD audio, dual-mic recording, Active Noise Cancellation

  • MHL connector, 3.5mm jack

  • Silicon-anode Li-Ion battery

  • 64 x 9 x 124mm

  • Ubuntu Edge: Design process | Ubuntu Design Blog

In this post I will share some materials, stories and process during the development of the Ubuntu Edge.

Update: After publishing this, a Mozilla spokesman got in touch with the following message:

“Today, Geeksphone announced the pre-sale of a new device based on Boot to Gecko technology. We want to clarify that this new phone that was announced is based on Boot to Gecko technology with pre-release software, but is not a certified or supported Firefox OS device.”

Enter the contest for a chance to win $500 worth of eBooks from O’Reilly Media, free registration to LinuxCon/CloudOpen conference, an Adafruit kit to make a solar MintyBoost, or a one-year subscription to MAKE Magazine.

— /etc: ReactOS Review —


Brought to you by: Untangle

The ReactOS software includes binary and source distributions of the latest ReactOS. This includes the kernel, various subsystems and some basic applications.

Notes:

  • Installer looks straight outta NT4 / Win2k DOS days.

  • File system choices are FAT32 or ext2

  • In a future where ChromeOS and tablets are a viable platform for the majority of your computing, ReactOS could play the role of enabling legacy support for old Win32 apps. In a sense, further eliminating in shred of legitimacy the Windows platform could hold 7+ years out.

Thanks for the TBs!
