Overview of the expected features of the Ubuntu tablet

Here, after a short time, after the announcement of the Ubuntu Phone work, a new announcement has appeared, but this time about Ubuntu for tablets. In many ways, the features presented are similar to what we saw in Ubuntu Phone, but there are some peculiarities here, which I wanted to do the translation about. Also, the translation may be interesting for those who do not like texts in English.

Easy navigation with magical edges

Use all four edges of the screen to navigate between applications, settings, and controls. There are no buttons on the Ubuntu tablet, you do not have to go back to the main screen every time you want to switch the application, because the switch is always available through a swipe.

The left edge contains your preferred applications, which you can get with just one touch. Here you can see what is running at the moment, switch between applications or quickly launch another.

Systems at your service

Swipe across the top for any system service, search or settings. Switch networks, turn on mobile data, change the sound volume, respond to incoming messages, or block alerts without exiting the application. In fact, any system setting can be changed without losing the state of the application. This makes Ubuntu the best for maintaining focus on content.

Focus on content, not management.

Ubuntu interface is cleaner, more spacious and less cluttered, because no buttons are needed on each screen. Your information is the main thing. Swipe up at the bottom of the screen to call the application controllers. Without a swipe, you do not see any control buttons. You are free to focus on the content: photos, web pages, music, messages and applications.

Great gallery for your digital life

The gallery app is a stylish, standard Ubuntu app that allows you to organize and share your photos. This is a great example for application design: one application works on a phone, tablet, PC and is equally beautiful and comfortable in any environment.

On the phone, you can view photos, and on the tablet you can create albums - Ubuntu will organize your photos into events by date, or you can create your own collections.

Your photos can be immediately uploaded to your personal cloud and be available on all your devices, including iOS, Android, Windows. Spread between them with just one touch.

You can customize the screen and search for each content type. See what you want with one touch - no longer need to worry what application to look for all this.



Today, tablets are so powerful, akin to ultra-light notebooks. Ubuntu uniquely supports the new category of devices: add a keyboard and mouse and your Ubuntu-tablet becomes a full-fledged PC and thin client, with access to Windows applications through standard protocols from Microsoft, Citrix, VMware and Wyse. This allows enterprises to deploy unified, secure, portable enterprise devices for all types of applications.

Since this is a clean ubuntu, tablets can be managed through Landscape, giving businesses complete control over users, applications, using the same tool that is used on the desktop and on servers right now.
