Ubuntu Mobile Announced

Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded Edition, a version of Ubuntu for small devices was announced today by Matt Zimmerman.

Three years on, it is clear that new types of device - small, handheld, graphical tablets which are Internet-enabled are going to change the way we communicate and collaborate. These devices place new demands on open source software and require innovative graphical interfaces, improved power management and better responsiveness.

This version of Ubuntu will be designed for Intel’s new mobile Internet devices. Canonical is also looking for a new mobile developer.
