hey guys we're here at the Ubuntu Booth I thought I'd cover this because lanus likes his iPhone way too much um and
we're just here to check out a demo so if you can show me how the phone goes
sure so this is Ubuntu phone and we'll
start by showing you our welcome screen we don't like to call it a lock screen
because we want to welcome you to your phone and what we've done here is this
is an infographic of things about you so
this infographic will dynamically change throughout the day based on your social
media feeds to kind of give you a visual representation of things about you okay
so the color the intensity of the colors around the circles are is going to
change depending on what social media groups you have messages in and whatnot
exactly correct very cool very cool so this is Ubuntu uh this is not a port of
Ubuntu this is the same operating system that runs on your desktop or in the
cloud right and uh as you see here from the left this is actually the unity
launcher yeah okay so let's go ahead and
get into the phone here so the first thing I'll show you is our home screen
so this is our Unity home lens and this
is a dynamic lens that will change throughout the day as well as you do
frequently used apps your missed calls New Media that you may add to the phone
Etc our apps lens which is your
currently running applications your installed apps and even apps available
for download from our app store right and you guys will have a dedicated
button for that on release I'm assuming exactly right perfect so let's go ahead
and uh and launch an application
okay so I'll launch our native photo
gallery app and what we've tried to do our design philosophy here is is you'll
notice we have no physical buttons or no hard buttons uh or no soft buttons I've
noticed a lot of awesome swiping action so far exactly we want to be completely
gesture based right so if you notice here the whole screen is available for
your content but if you use Swipe up from the bottom of the screen you'll
notice that we have control buttons on demand because you typically don't need
them so why have them always be there of
course that makes sense yeah that's very cool uh is there any multitasking cas
capabilities or anything of the phone that you can show us exactly so we use
the left Edge for launching apps the bottom Edge for controls and the right
edge here would be to actually switch between running applications so this is
the way you would do multitasking very very cool very cool very quick very adds
a lot to the fluidity of the phone that's very awesome I like that so then
how do you get back home to the unity screen it would be one quick gesture
across the screen and that brings you back home very cool so those are the
three edges we have one other edge here which is the top Edge and this if I use
is allows me to get at all the settings within the phone from anywhere
throughout the uh just go along the top
there yeah see how it selects different things as he swipes it across so you
pull down and then go left and right very Swip tastic awesome and you can
just reply call someone back uh right in
line here without ever having to leave what you're doing on the phone so so
many times you've probably been on your phone oh how do I turn off BL bluetoo or
how do I get back to a setting well they're all right here for you at your
fingertips at all time right now this isn't based on Android so what kind of
phones are we going to see this available on so we're currently talking to a ton of Manufacturers right now I
can't say any right now but later in the year you'll you'll be seeing handsets
come out that's awesome what phone is it being developed uh shown on right now
right so this is the Galaxy Nexus or the Nexus 3 right uh which is the
development phone from Google all right very cool development here guys we're
finally seeing another big player in the smartphone market it's very nice speaking with you thank you subscribe to
L Tech tis for all of our CES content have a good day
