Is it already possible to test Ubuntu for Android?

  • 772

I'm very excited about Ubuntu being able to run trhough an Android smartphone just by connecting it to a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse. Now I'm wondering if there is a way to test it? Are there any daily-builds of it? Alpha package?

If you don't know what Ubuntu for Android is take a look at it's page.

Other things I'm unsure about Ubuntu for Android is:

  • Will it work for tablets too?
  • Does it require a dual-core smartphone?
  • Do you necessarily need a Dock?
  • Is there a release date for the first version of it?

I've looked for some info in Ubuntu for Android LaunchPad page, but I didn't find anything useful.

In This Page Canonical lets you to leave your contact if you are interest in Ubuntu for Android.

    Not currently, it is for OEMs to install on their devices, not for the consumer. When it is released, it shall be hacked on to these old devices.

  2. The only supported device at the moment is the Nexus 7 tablet, no smartphone.
