But for a number of mobile phones,or it's better to say smartphone users, the choice of three OS just is notenough Some people want more. And we support them in their claims. The salvation is perhaps here. Today, we are thinking of Ubuntu Touch OS.

Ubuntu Touch OS is a child of well-known Canonical company and we assume that the OS will start its career in October. Why? It takes time to find, and make a deal with device manufactures about using your software. Especially it is new product, so there is any experience about it. There is no list of potential candidates, but we will definitely not see in it the names like Samsung (because of its own Tizen OS) and Google with Motorola, because of Android.

Ubuntu Touch OS has a black top line, where the software place all usual informations, such as battery life, signalstrength time and dateetc. Also, Ubuntu Touch OS has incorporated here search option, so you don't have to closeapplicationin use to reach this feature, like at Android. We like this!

Beside that, Ubuntu Touch OS has no classical apps shortcuts on star screen.Insteadof it, there will be some sort of "categories", like messages, music, videosetc. At the same time, the home screen will appear frequently used items, so that access to them will be much easier. Interestingly, the menu followed by the application or the line of applications willappearafter certain finger movements across the screen. Let's say you need to move your finger from left to right, and you will see the main menu. Also, when you press the bottom left of the screen, column of applications will occur. Is this a practical option? We're not sure, but it will be the time to try out Ubuntu OS Touch and to personally see.

Ubuntu Touch OS seams to have quite elegance and notability. It comes with style in comparison withFirefox OS and Tizen OS (they so look like Android that did not have a chance to show their originality at all). That's why they can't be real competitors to Android, but Ubuntu Touch can. Indeed!
