Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical and Ubuntu Linux, said: the mobile phone carrying the Open Source Ubuntu system will take another important step.

According to previous reports from CIO Journal, Mark Chang's Ubuntu mobile phone can run desktop applications and access peripheral devices, such as large screen monitors and keyboards. In other words, he is working on implementing a real mobile desktop-level portable computer-the only thing you need is the device in your pocket. He tried to raise $32 million in funding for the Edge mobile phone on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, but the final funds were less than expected.

Last month, the first mobile phone carrying the Ubuntu system was listed in Europe. Spanish retailer BQ flash sold the Aquaris E 4.5 mobile phone, and Chinese manufacturer meizu planned to launch similar products. This mid-end mobile phone cannot be connected to a large screen or keyboard, which means that the real full integration still needs to wait, but in Mark's view, this is a good open end.

He also hopes to bring the device to the U.S. market. This mobile phone is characterized by innovative mobile app experience. Its operating system uses native apps and HTMI 5 technology to separate applications from data, that is, application data is separated from applications, after integration, it is displayed on the home page. For example, news and weather can be displayed on the same screen regardless of the source.

「 When you are reading news or subscribing to the music streaming media service, this information will be displayed in different areas on the main screen and looks lightweight .」 Mark said in a telephone interview with CIO Journal. The user slides the edge of the screen to operate the entire system, rather than clicking the button. Mark calls it Scopes 」.

He hopes that in the future, a model close to the Edge will be able to achieve this goal, and other operating systems, such as Microsoft's WP, will also be moving in that direction. 「 The full desktop version of Win8.1 can now run on tablets of different sizes, making it easier for people to replace laptops and PCs with these device zones. This integration will eventually lead to a new software development direction .」

"In some cases, do you need a keyboard, a mouse, or a big display? If you want to do some demanding work... at present, we cannot get rid of these devices. The question is: what is the main device you need? Is one laptop or one mobile phone enough? A set of data devices are always beneficial to us and are connected at any time. I think such a proposal has always been active .」
