[GRLUG] Ubuntu Mobile OS

[Jonathan Jesse]

Why?  This is the question I'm asking....  What will make this
device successful in the tight market that is already dominated by Android
and iOS with Blackberry and Windows Phone trailing in 3rd place.  I don't
think the "geeks" will rush out to adopt this phone as there seems to be
declining excitement in things Canonical/Ubuntu related.
There doesn't seem to be a committed carrier either which I think won't
drive adoption as well.  If they can't get VZW or AT&T selling/pushing this
phone then it will have even worse traction in the US than Windows Phone.

Or is it all an Europe/Asia thing?
