Do you think you will pick up this phone? Do you think it'll be successful?

Never make me angry. I am a Hitman and I can easily find you and take you out.

Can it wipe my butt?

Only if Linus lets you.

I'll consider it.

Naah, I won't. It's just another phone doing the same stuff as current phones.

The thing i'm excited about with this phone (or OS?) is that there will be both ARM and x86 versions of these phones.

>x86
That's a regular PC CPU. You know what that means? PC games on my phone.
YEEEEEEEEE

Not really....with the introduction of x86 CPUs to smart phones...it's a game changer.

Looks promising, but it'll be hard for phone manufacturers to agree to license an open OS on their hardware, a more controlled OS is usually easier for hardware devs.

By open OS do you mean open source? If so...Android is already an open source OS...which is Linux.

Ubuntu is also Linux and open source....so the apps on Android should easily transfer over to the mobile Ubuntu OS.
