| Ubuntu Phone Images released |
Installable Ubuntu Phone images for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 handsets will be available to download from next week, Canonical have today announced. From February 21st two pre-compiled images will be available for anyone with either supported handset to download. The preview will allow fans and app developers alike the chance to get to grips with the Ubuntu Phone experience ahead of its official release later this year.
But if the thought of ‘flashing’ your phone scares you then relax: Canonical have got you covered. Accompanying the preview will be a desktop app that downloads, updates and install Ubuntu Phone on to supported handsets. It’s likely that the tool will be similar to the 'Nexus 7′ installer released by Canonical last October, which enabled owners of the Google Nexus 7 to quickly install Ubuntu on to their device.
