ubuntu tablet

Canonical unveiled Ubuntu for tablets yesterday, giving us a look at the new tablet UI and stating that they’ll know off more of it at the MWC next week.No mention of when we’ll see the software released but apparently a developer preview of Ubuntu for tablets will be released tomorrow for the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets. The tablet UI is similar to Ubuntu for mobile and doesnt look anything like the desktop interface that was demoed on tablets last year. There’s no support for multiple user accounts, including guest accounts, some neat new multi-tasking features and you can even run apps designed for mobile phones on the side of the screen, while keeping a tablet app open on the other side.

 According to the company, this new Ubuntu for tablet Operating System will be available on those devices which are 6 to 20 inches, and has a list of minimum specs on its website. Those include an A15 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a minimum of 8GB of storage. Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview is available for Google’s Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets. Starting from February 21st, you will be able to download it from Ubuntu Developer site.
