Ubuntu OS, long a favorite open-source platform for computing, is getting ready to move to the smaller smartphone screen.
Ubuntu-run smartphones will using the same drivers as Android smartphones, a boon to developers, but will also run well on entry-level smartphones, the organization says. Ubuntu for phones eschews Java in favor of native code.
In fact, Ubuntu's Web site pushes HTML5 and native code apps, a benefit for developers who can create a single app for both the desktop and the PC.
The OS favors swiping gestures to reveal navigation strips and overview pages, similar to RIM's BlackBerry OS 10 and to the short-lived Web OS for Palm. Navigation is on the back burner, revealing and hiding with a tap.

That UI is serious... competitors will bite this as soon as they get their hands on it. Except Apple... they're users are good with screens full of apps and folders all over it
