This is quite interesting. I have gotten my Cubieboard to run Android 4.1 and Ubuntu, but the Ubuntu is quite a bit slower and not as visually clean is the Android 4.1. I suspect that the use of less than optimal video and an overly large GUI are to blame.
It will be very interesting to see if Ubuntu has resolved these performance issues and optimized for an A10. It may be time to sell short your Microsoft stock.
Im not too sure what i think. I didnt enjoy it too much on my pc and i never felt it was significant enough to change os. But it's good to see that ubuntu is moving to the phone, tablet, ect. world.
Looks like they are putting alot of work into this though...
When you go to developer.ubuntu.com the first thing you get to is a "get started" for Ubuntu apps where there is a nice long tutorial video showing how to build Ubuntu apps using "Quickly". Quickly uses Python and the GTK GUI tool kit.
But, if you follow the links to mobile development we soon see that it is done in using the wonderful Qt GUI toolkit and QML. Now Qt is a C++ library but in this case they use QML which is basicqaly JavaScript. Yes you write your app in JS.
Odd thing here is that Qt was owned by Nokia. Looks like Canonical have picked up the ball here and made it work.
So, teganbrurns. That Ubuntu on the phone is a totally different animal to the one on your desktop PC.
