First Ubuntu phones in October 2013 - Ubuntu Touch General

Looks like Mark Shuttleworth said in an interview that the first Ubuntu phone will be available in October 2013.
And he is still claiming that the GNex image will be out in February.
No details on the devices themselves, and only vague references to where.

Then we are waiting...

I am really excited on this phones!
The trailers for the phone were very promising..

Will bump this Nov 8th heh
How sweet that would be!
MyTouch 4G for T-Mobile USA out on the 3rd of November (a worthy hardware bump)... tough decisions. I will probably wait until the 8th to see if anything really surfaces.
I believe it to be rumor at this point, but surely we all hope it is not.
i really hope this is true cant wait
The device on the 8th wont be the N2, because well the invitation image says the name of the device right in it

If i was a member of the media id tell you, and im pretty sure they had to NDA
The device that Samsung are going to announce on November 8th is called the Samsung Continuum. It is going to be a 2.1 device for Verizon and its main feature is that is dual-screen with the second screen acting as a ticker which will display weather, Facebook updates, etc...
However it is reported that there is going to a be a surprise announcement on the day of the Continuum unveiling of a new Nexus device, manufactured by Samsung, which will run Gingerbread. Apparently the device will be called the Nexus S.

i hope it isnt true id hate for it to be a Samsung phone
Update this thread on Nov. 8th with the scoop
ITS REAL!!\
http://gizmodo.com/5676008/hands-on-the-nexus-two-by-samsung
Gizmodo could be f-ing with us. Or be serious.
I don't see why Google would choose Samsung over HTC. Unless they really want to develop Android on the Hummingbird GPU.
I do NOT like this. It's not even the Nexus One feel. Looks like every other variant of the Galaxy S.
If its stock Android + Google Apps and NOT carrier-subsidized, I will purchase one despite it not being manufactured by our beloved HTC.. when HTC releases their stock/gapps/unsubsidized super phone, I will purchase one of those too. This is of course after I confirm that they both feature 'fastboot oem unlock'...
If the Nexus 2 is the Gizmodo phone then why doesn't it have Android 3.0? The lime green phone icon they so claim its coming with. Not some plain ol' launcher icons. I hope thats not the Nexus 2.
glad Sammy is behind it! I was sick of all the HTC designs since the days of G1.
its just another Galaxy, great *rolls eyes*
samsung=fail

Speculation that Google might release Android 5.0 (jellybean)

Even tho ICS is mostly in the beta stage for the EVO 4G,Android 5.0 might be pushed out in the summer to beat windows to the punch on the realese of windows 8 for tablets so soon we might get some new goodies for Evo 4g and other devices.
Not likely, though Google execs implied that it could be rolling out in the fall.
"After Android 4 comes 5, and we haven't announced the timing yet, which we're still sorting out," Lockheimer said in an interview with Computerworld on Monday. "There's a lot of engineering work still behind it -- and there's also the question of how to time it.
"In general," he added. "the Android release cadence is one major release a year with some maintenance releases that are substantial still."
That statement would imply a fall 2012 release of Android 5.0, given that Android 4.0 was released last November, he acknowledged.

Summer would be cool though
Google will most likely try to get 5.0 out close to the time win8 and the iphoney 5 are released to compete with them im thinking probably early to mid summer since last year we had 2 releases gb at beginning of year and ICS towards the end 5.0 was actually put into development shortly after ICS was but is apparently alot more complex than any previous builds and may even be capable of running on other platforms such as home computers similar to win8

Hey,
While they might complete android 5.0 early they wont release it till other phones with windows and Ios put out their new software just to keep the market competitive, as cool as it would be to get it early! But we just are getting ics, so we can wait for the latest greatest!

Breaking News - Google cancels its 29th October event

Google has cancelled its October 29th Even in view of Hurricane Sandy, the new dates have not been revealed.
We will have to wait longer for the Nexus devices.
Sorry to post this over here thought this was a breaking new will delete this within 12 hours
Damn that's annoying. I was hoping to hear more about the Nexus 10. I hope the rescheduled event is soon.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
But, safety is a priority.
They should've showed us the new devices fighting with wind and with rain pouring on the scene. That would be epic. (just joking, safety first)
Good call..

Which means, it could be the end of the month. So we'll have people whining on Dec. 2nd about "where is it". They also stated again about phased rollouts.
So we'll have people posting on Dec. 31st how they'll "never buy sony again" because their device has not yet updated. That'll be good times again!

This is a GOOD NEWS!!!
At least SONY is confirming that we have an upcoming updates... waiting patiently here,,, :angel:
If you believe Sony will update our tablet in a timely manner I have just one word for you, and that word is lol
I am just in the process of looking for a new tab. The Z is on my short list. It would be my first Sony. Strictly Asus until now. However, I noticed that the blog post specifically mentions handsets for the update? For those of you that are long term Sony owners, when you see a quote like the one above does that usually include the tablet version as well?
Update: Sorry, found a much more complete answer on their blog and YES it is absolutely confirmed.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/11/0...d&utm_campaign=Feed:+XperiaBlog+(Xperia+Blog)
Makes my decision a no brainer. Tab Z it is - ordering today.
Update again: And straight from Sony: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2013/11/07/on-jelly-bean-4-3-kit-kat-4-4/
for all the haters here and does not know the word patient, you better sell your sony Xperia and buy a Nexus device for faster updates. or better buy an ios for a monthly update.hehehe lol..peace mates...
we should be thankful their confirming those future updates... be cool guys...
