Ubuntu OS will come to a wide range of devices, not just GN :D

for now I m very happy with N9 and it will be with till it can blink its breathing light.

Right now I am not sure what Sailfish and Ubuntu is cooking under the hood. both of them have shown a demo and few verbal promises. But there is nothing ready yet so I am more liking the BB10 but I am waiting to check out the real device on 31st.

And yes I like it because of swipe... May be I am going way to ahead but swipe is the future in smart phone arena.

till then enjoy the last two master pieces N9/00 from Nokia. Cheers...!!

Exactly. Although I must say from ideology perspective I'm leaning more towards Jolla & Ubuntu, rather than BB10. But BB10 seems promising and certainly something I'd without hesitation prefer over iOS and WP.

Half a year ago Jolla seemed like the only bright hope for open source based mobile operating system. Now Ubuntu mobile has been introduced. Emotionally I like to cheer for Jolla because of their ties to Finland and MeeGo/Maemo. But the Ubuntu OS representation was very convincing to me, I'd say more than Jolla's. But it's still early times, so it'll be interesting to see what's the full story when the devices arrive.

Also as a small time developer it'll be interesting to think where to put ones limited time into... Luckily all the new platforms I'm interested in are based on Qt/QML, which helps somewhat.
