Ubuntu is by far not an OS for mobile phones, however, the latest handsets have hardware configuration which will allow users to run a desktop or netbook OS on mobile phones, few of them being the Nokia N900 which can run Debian.
Now, Pocket Now, has come across a user who has been able to install and run Ubuntu on a HTC Touch Pro2. Having a desktop OS run on a mobile handset is definitely a great achievement, and kudos to the XDA forum members for achieving this.
Take a look at the video below to see Ubuntu in action on a HTC Touch Pro2 device.
What do you think about this feat? You can learn more about it at the XDA forum.
