Great news comes down the pike from Canonical.
Ubuntu Touch will now be available on phones very soon.
Instead of buying a Nexus and then installing Ubuntu Touch yourself,
you will see phones on store shelves pre-installed with Ubuntu Touch this December.
Linux already has the lion's share of every market but home PC, and Linux already has that share in phone markets too...
But I am personally happy to see Canonical's product Ubuntu (of which I use exclusively) come to the phone market this way.
The first phone available will be the Meizu MX4. Then BQ's Aquaris is most likely to be the second.
While I have never owned a Meizu product, I can speak for BQ. I have had very good experiences with their equipment.
Here's a pic of the phones that will have native Ubuntu Touch installations: (Thanks to PCWorld):
I personally will love to see these teaching a whole new generation about the virtues of Linux.
