In what is the biggest computer news so far in 2013, Ubuntu announced the Ubuntu Phone OS adding a significant step to Ubuntu history.

The new Ubuntu OS will feature a voice controlled HUD to launch apps.

Canonical suggested a major cell phone manufacturer will ship Ubuntu for Android this year, and in 2014 the Ubuntu OS will be available. Ubuntu Phone OS is built from the ground up, making it different than Ubuntu for Android.

Th good news, the Ubuntu Phone OS will be downloadable and can be used for specific smart phone devices.

Developers will have access within a week or two for developing apps.

We are excited about this news and have been waiting a while already for more information. Will you be downloading or purchasing an Ubuntu Phone OS powered device?
