I never said it was; I agree that PhoneGap should support Ubuntu. Although granted, I'm no fan of JavaScript-based apps. I think with LLVM around, and OS's like Android that are capable of sandboxing each application, the days of JavaScript apps are numbered. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM</a> On Nov 6, 2012 5:58 AM, "Timo Jyrinki" <<a href="mailto:timo.jyrinki@gmail.com">timo.jyrinki@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > > 2012/11/6 Ma Xiaojun <<a href="mailto:damage3025@gmail.com">damage3025@gmail.com</a>>: > > This is inspired by the following post: > > <a href="https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2012-November/msg00006.html">https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2012-November/msg00006.html</a> > > > > Since Ubuntu is heading towards Tablets and mobile phones now. > > It would be very nice if we also join the PhoneGap camp. > > This occurred to me is as well when the new mobility focus was > announced a few weeks ago. What? Could you please provide a link? I remember years ago hype about Ubuntu Mobile - which kinda became Moblin, IIRC, which with a couple of mergers and renames (now called Tizen I think) hasn't had a raving success. Now there's excitement about Ubuntu for Android - and I really do hope Canonical get it out there before it goes the same way, or competitors get there first. I think Canonical should focus on Ubuntu for Android before revisiting the ambitions of Ubuntu Mobile. > If you or someone has interest to tinker > with the code, go ahead and add Ubuntu support :) There are indeed > many platforms which try to do the same as PhoneGap, so pick your > choice and add Ubuntu in front of developers' eyes! This is the reason why I think PhoneGap should support Ubuntu! :-p Best regards, James.
