According to foreign media reports, the founder and CEO of Ubuntu system provider Canonical Mark Shuttleworth recently accepted the Wall Street Journal) the interview said that the smartphone running the Ubuntu operating system will be listed in October 2013 and will be launched in two very important regions first, however, Saudi voss did not reveal specific information about these two markets.
