Next stop Ubuntu

Ubuntu today unveiled its take on the tablet, the 4th screen in their 4 screen strategy. The tablet UI borrows from that of mobile version, smooth transitions and elegant UI elements. The notion that innovation is dead has be shattered by Ubuntu's efforts on the UI front. It's unlike anything currently on the market and that in itself is cause for an applause. Desktop, TV, phone and tablets now have their own distinct sprinkle of Ubuntu but my thought process lends me to believe in this "post PC era", making the phone and tablet the most vital of the 4 screens.

Greeting from Jailbreak island...

A few years ago I found iOS awesome, the interface was a breathe of fresh air when compared to the popular devices of that day. I remember the Nokia N95 was the "top dog" in those days, for years Nokia milked that device not trying to innovate further, they got comfortable. Then came the iPhone and the rest is history. Fast forward to today, Apple and iOS feels like they are in the same position as Nokia with their cash cow of yesteryear, stuck. The interface employed by Windows phone, Android and now the Blackberry OS 10 seems brushed with a paint brush transported from the future. Now I own an iPhone 4S, I love the device, the hardware is beautiful and the quality of the applications continue to stand a notch above all else. Where iOS in my opinion stumbles is in the navigation and multitasking department.
