Re: Installing click packages without Ubuntu-one

 

What Michal Suchanek tries to say is that he wants a way to install click
apps from the store while not having internet access on the phone (ie.
download it on a computer with internet access).

A solution to this that I see is to have it possible to install phone apps
to the phone from the software centre on the computer.
What I mean is:
Connect the phone to the computer (by usb for example)
Launch Ubuntu Software Center
Choose phone in some way (designers needed)
Now the software centre shows phone apps instead of desktop apps.
Allow the user to install any app (the apps get installed on the phone, not
the computer)

Could be a great feature actually.
Maybe something to have in mind when the click framework is ported to the
desktop?
