Ubuntu mobile phone: no store at first, only pre-installed

Apps and stores are the top priorities for Android phones and iPhones, but for the soon-to-be-born Ubuntu phones, they prepare & ldquo; not on the ordinary path & rdquo ;. Canoncial product manager Richard Collins said in an interview that the first Ubuntu phone is expected to be released in early 2014. It only runs pre-installed software for basic users. He said: & ldquo; speaking of our first marketing product strategy, the goal is not to provide an App Store, which is everywhere.

Apps and stores are the top priorities for Android phones and iPhones, but for the forthcoming Ubuntu phones, they are "not going the ordinary way ".

Canoncial product manager Richard Collins said in an interview that the first Ubuntu phone is expected to be released in early 2014, and it will only run pre-installed software for basic users.

"Speaking of our first marketing product strategy, the goal is not to provide an app store, where apps can be downloaded everywhere," he said. Our attitude is very clear, that is, targeting a very important part of the market. The biggest interest of these users is to use only the most core applications ."

That is to say, Ubuntu mobile phones can run third-party applications, but that is the future. Canoncial also plans to generate revenue together with developers and help them port Ubuntu Desktop applications to mobile phones, but this is not the case in the early stage. At first, only the most basic functions were available.

Prior to this, Canoncial launched a community solicitation activity and called on developers to help create 12 applications at the core of the Ubuntu mobile system. These applications will be pre-installed directly.
