Ubuntu Touch

The eagerly-anticipated Ubuntu Touch brings one of the world's most powerful open source operating systems to a whole new world of devices: tablets, smartphones, and beyond. Ubuntu Touch is the first and only comprehensive introduction to Canonical's exciting new mobile operating system. Perfect for everyone from adventurous early adopters to developers and support professionals, it will be especially valuable to the millions of open source aficionados who've made Ubuntu the #1 desktop distribution of Linux.
