Ubuntu Developer Preview for Nexus devices now available

Right on schedule, the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview for Nexus smartphones and tablets is now available to download.

The Developer Preview is basically just a taste of things to come with the full release, which is scheduled for early next year. As such the preview might be a bit unstable and not everything might work correctly, but hey if you gotta try out Ubuntu on a mobile phone or tablet, here ya go.

Worth mentioning though, that the released is only compatible with certain Nexus devices, such as the Galaxy Nexus (GSM ‘maguro” variants only), Nexus 4 “mako,” Nexus 7 “grouper,” and Nexus 10 “manta.” With no support for the other versions of the Galaxy Nexus.

More info over at the Ubuntu wiki which has full instructions on how to install the Touch Developer Preview.
