Re: [Ubuntu-touch-coreapps] Why is there not a Browser or music app in the core app?

 

Hi All,

Just got my Razr so haven't yet installed the Dev Preview but from what I've seen isn't the Music App design ( semi-functional with real smooth art scroll ) already present along with a dedicated page on the phone.

So to my clarification, we are discussing to further enhance the same app or building a different native app.

Hi all, 
It's great to see everyone so interested in the music app already! We really want to get to the design work soon, but as you've seen, we are busy with the clock, weather, calculator and calendar right now!
The music app is indeed of great importance to us all, what would a phone be without music playback!? We intend to follow the same process as we have with the other apps; so if you are interested in the music player app, here's where to look!

For reference, handy people to speak with are:
Jim Hodapp (@jhodapp) is the Canonical Tech lead, Mika Meskanen (@mesq) Christina Li (@Christina) and myself (@ckpringle) are the UX go to guys, and Michal Izydorczyk (@mehow) for visual design. We'll be hanging out here and on the Ubuntu-touch IRC channel as usual.
Speak soon,
Calum, Mika, Christina and Michal.

Just to clarify, the browser is already included in the Touch Preview image, and it's being worked on. 

Cheers,Mika

Hello Everyone, 

I was curious to know why we are not trying to create a Ubuntu browser? 
I have some ideas but want to know it there was a reasoning that it was not included. 

Second thing, 
Music player, seen it in the Developer preview but it was essentially an image with no functionality. 
I am wondering why this is not included in the Core Apps either? A good music player is an essential part of a smart phone. I have some great ideas for this as well and I am sad that it wasn't included in the Core Apps.
