With the intepid development cycle the mobile team has split its efforts into producing two different images, one is the well known Ubuntu MID image targeting 4-7″ MID devices with 800×480 desktops using mobiln technology. This image is getting a lot of improvements over the hardy release during the intrepid cycle …
You can find the current daily build for it here.
The second image which i’m proud to announce today is the new gnome based ubuntu-mobile image that is targeting the bigger MIDs from 7-9″. This image is a first try and supposed to be the base for a well working touchscreen centric gnome mobile desktop on 1024×600 screens. For now it is running best on a samsung Q1 (since it was developed on such a device) and we hope to get valuable input from users with it. So we can make sure the applications run fine at this resolution and we can support all possible MID hardware of this class in the jaunty release.
Screenshots, installation instructions and the download link for our first shot image can be found here.
All images of the mobile team are built as live images nowadays so you can directly test them by booting from a USB key. Feedback and discussions are appreciated on the ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com mailing list or via bugs. If you want to modify one of the images to your needs, see the HowTo section of the MobileTeam wikipages.
