Ubuntu Edge: the software story

With the Ubuntu Edge, your phone is also your PC. Simply connect the Edge to any HDMI monitor to start working immediately on the full Ubuntu desktop, with all the usual desktop applications. It’s totally integrated, so you can access all the phone’s files from the desktop, and even make calls and send messages. In this video Leann Ogasawara, Ubuntu Kernel Engineering Manager, demonstrates how this amazing convergence works. To find out more, visit igg.me/at/ubuntuedge

  • Revisiting this in 2021. This concept was way ahead of it's time. Pity this didn't come to fruition.

    Still enjoy using Ubuntu as my primary desktop OS though.

  • i wish this succeeded 🤦‍♂️ now it is just iphones and androids, and there are hardly any android oems left

  • 2013 Ubuntu Edge Desktop Mode 😕
    2019 Android Q’s Desktop Mode 😍
    👀🤔

  • Hi, Leann! Where is the device? Have you quit, just like that? Or are you working on something, in terms of performance and productivity, even better than 2013's Edge?

  • 2 years have past from this video, whats going on as of today

  • Is her left eye bigger than her right eye? 

  • It bothers me deeply the fact they aren't using Ubuntu OS to design this. This fact shows they don't trust in their own product.

  • what happened to youtube comments? Weren't they fixed to original layout? :/

  • That is below the belt, not fair at all

  • Lots of people are seen using Ubuntu Linux on Macintosh, many do it

  • Nerd eyes, even the Asians have them 😛

  • it seems she got double eyelid sugery only on her left eye lol

  • Can somebody tell that is there any chance I could have this image and install it on my Nexus4? I am drooling all over the place after seeing this video. Of course everything at my own risk.

  • That's what I said, and I got shit for it xD

  • Don't get me wrong people, I love Ubuntu, and I use it daily.
    But you cannot deny that they aren't using OSX, because they clearly are.

  • 0:15 – 0:19

    OSX and Photoshop.
    Not a sign of Ubuntu Linux

  • Has she forgotten to apply makeup to one side of her face?

  • I pledged $80k to find out if 115 Ubuntu Edges will blend at once! But to do this I had to think outside the box and create the greatest blender ever seen! For this I have teamed up with Blendtec and now we need You to pledge to our cause! We ask for a mere $86 trillion and for that we will post a video of the event for all to see right here on youtube! What are you waiting for!? Create the future of blending technology for blending technology today!

  • I love Ubuntu, but it is funny that they're using Mac OS in the design room (@ 0:18).

  • Sharturse, watch the video please. And look at every computer screen in the video. Every computer is a Mac, all running OSX. I know the difference between a unix desktop and an OSX desktop. How exactly am I trolling?

  • Dont mean to be mean, but, why are you blind?

  • maybe the target of 32milion not achieve but hopefully with more than 10milion contribution so far would make big company see the potential ubuntu has and willingly to make their phone operate ubuntu. Finger Cross.

  • I notice too, but the question is would you pass her up? I know I wouldn't. And I'm being respectful, in case somebody take offence.

  • Sexy. Finally, someone gets it, a phone should be JUST LIKE a computer. All the hardware is there. Work with .mp3, .mp4, .exe, no problem. your Galaxy and your ipod won't run an .mp3 unless you void your warranty first by 'rooting' it. Bull shit. Go Edge, now. Don't look back. Only these guys are delivering a modern future, today.

  • Thumbs up if you watched this video for her rather than anything else she said..

  • I presume you are trolling, but just in case you aren't, Ubuntu is a Linux based OS, just like Android. They share the same linux kernal which is why convergence is possible. Mac OSX and Linux are both 'Unix-like' but that is the only link.

  • That was also the thing I was thinking about looking at her face, besides the thought "that's one geek girl I don't like". In a strange way she seem cold, mechanic and superficial.

  • I find it hilarious that they're using Mac OS X, and not their own OS.

  • thats perfect. cant come of out the reality of getting a iphone for doing some questionnaire 🙂 . its not a joke, your address and mail id is enough to receive ur ipad3. dont run away have a try now >>> bit.ly/14ShXn2?=cggwhn

  • thats perfect. my mom got shocked when she received the ipad3 from this website on behalf of me. be mature and do this, your address and mail id is enough to receive ur ipad3. have a try and enjoy 🙂 -> bit.ly/145Wur3?=sckfjy

  • Her right half of the face is very beautiful.

  • That's….. pretty friggin' cool! Seems a bit beyond feasibility, at least at the suggested $695 price, but I am very fascinated by the concept!

  • wow super cool dude. dont waste time guys , rush to this site and get ur ipad3 or iphone as per ur choice. i am telling you, your address and mail id is enough to receive ur ipad3. dont run away have a try now ==> bit.ly/14Sj8Da?=kvxbbr

  • im excited. cant come of out the reality of getting a iphone for doing some questionnaire 🙂 . dont think its funny, make sure you tell the address and email properly to send the giftbox. its worth a try here –> bit.ly/14LJ8mq?=bnpykm
