Now it&#8217;s time for Ubuntu to tackle the final frontier.<\/p>\n<p>Canonical announced today that its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ubuntu.com\/devices\/tablet\">bringing Ubuntu to tablets<\/a>. The Ubuntu tablet combines the best desktop and smartphone UIs have to offer and combines them into a cohesive interface that offers maximum usability. It&#8217;s the continuation of Canonical&#8217;s philosophy that Ubuntu should remain the same across all devices with only a changing interface to reflect the platform its currently on.<\/p>\n<p>Check out a quick video tour of Ubuntu for tablets below: <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"616\" height=\"347\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h384z7Ph0gU?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The most interesting feature of Ubuntu for tablets is the new &#8220;side stage&#8221; feature that promises to improve multitasking on tablets. Here&#8217;s the breakdown: <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Ubuntu\u2019s unique side stage places a phone and a tablet app on the same screen at the same time for amazing tablet productivity. True multitasking comes to the tablet. Take calls in Skype while you work in a document, make notes on the side while you surf the web, tweet while you watch a movie. Or use apps collaboratively &#8211; drag content from one app to another for a super-productive day. We\u2019ve reinvented the tablet as a bridge between phone and PC.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/the-ubuntu-smartphone-launches-in-october-2013-02\">Ubuntu for smartphones<\/a> will be out in October of this year, but it&#8217;s still unknown which territories it will be initially launching in. I would presume that Ubuntu for tablets would be on a similar schedule, but it&#8217;s still up in the air at this point. <\/p>\n<p>That being said, Canonical is inviting developers to start making apps for Ubuntu on phones and tablets for when they become available.
