Ubuntu's first smartphones will hit the stores this coming October 2013. reported Canonical's founder Mark Shuffleworth to Wall Street Journal. It was just last January when the Canonical founder told that the plans of releasing Ubuntu phones will be on the last quarter of 2013 to the first of 2014. It seems, though, that the release plan will come earlier than expected. However, the accessing of Ubuntu's OS was moved to February of 2013 opposite to what the company first announced (January 2, 2013). This delay makes tech-bloggers a little concerned of what really are Ubuntu and Canonical's plans. If it's true that Canonical will be releasing the new smartphones on October, the release will be on time with Ubuntu's OS update as it is updated every six months. Dominating competitors will also be a struggle for the Ubuntu smartphones. Enabling a phone to become a full PC when docked with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, Ubuntu smartphones are meant to run the full Ubuntu desktop OS underneath. To break into the corporate world, Canonical wants to work with application streaming or virtualization tools to let users access Windows applications from these phone/PCs. Mark Shuttleworth said in a meeting with the Wall Street Journal, "You can share Windows apps to the phone desktop." See also: NewSat: One of Australia's Satellite Communications Companies
