Developer Preview of Ubuntu Touch for Nexus devices out now

Owners of Nexus devices can now flash Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview onto their devices, as Canonical today made available the preview ROMs of Ubuntu's mobile version. While the preview doesn't run all of the expected features, you can still make phone calls, text messages, connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi, use both the front and rear cameras, and mess around on your phone on ADB (Android Developer Bridge).The devices officially supported for the developer previews are the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10. You can check out an in-depth, step-by-step installation guide on the Ubuntu Wiki.Alongside the developer preview, Canonical has also released the alpha version of the SDK for Ubuntu Touch. While the SDK has been in development for quite some time, the new features added in the latest version impressed the developers enough for it to warrant a release. One of the biggest features of the SDK is remote app deployment, which lets you execute apps you create straight from the IDE. Applications developed with Qt Creator can now be transferred and executed to a device through a simple shortcut.You can check out more information on the SDK on the Ubuntu Touch page.Click here for full story
