Canonical will be pitching a TV-of-the-future invention maximising its touch-based Linux distro and Ubuntu cloud.
The Ubuntu shop used the spotlight in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) during Monday to preview Ubuntu Television, a program percolating inside of Canonical which got a shot of pr late recently from Mark Shuttleworth.
The notion behind Ubuntu Television, Canonical states, will be to supply Television as it had been intended: no cables, boxes as well as hassles.
Canonical director of communications Gerry Car blogged this: "The goal is to uncomplicate television for the average viewer while delivering to him or her all the services and options that they are becoming used to."
Ubuntu had been closely connected with Computers and servers - however Canonical last year moved into cloud services due to the introduction of its Ubuntu One services.
Canonical's long-standing rallying cry had been "Linux for human beings". The motto for Ubuntu Television is "TV for human beings".
The Ubuntu Television idea shadows and extends improvements within the fusion of Television, computing and web. Additionally , it creates the actual Ubuntu media cloud - using Ubuntu 1 as the "web hub" of everything.
We're informed Ubuntu TV can offer people a chance to pause and view shows on different Tv sets and other devices, such as mobile phones.
The enabler to do this definitely seems to be Ubuntu One, Canonical's cloud storage along with data-synching service, which currently lets you stream tunes and gain access to material on different devices. It is possible to currently stream tracks in Ubuntu One to iPhone, iPad and Android gadgets.
