Dear all,

I have 2 short and rather unrelated questions about the Ubuntu Touch ecosystem.

1) One thing that really annoys me about Android is the short support cycle as
many phones only get one update and some don't get any updates at all.  And
community support runs out eventually, as it just did for mine some months ago.
Anyway. What is the planned duration during which Ubuntu phones will receive
(at least security) updates? This might be a major selling point.

2) I happen to own a Pebble smartwatch which can be used with Android but
currently cannot be used with Ubuntu touch (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Are there any plans on getting, albeit rudimentary smartwach support on the OS
anytime soon? And, if so, are there any plans to bring the "mayor players" to
the platform?

Thanks to all the devs for their hard work! I'm really looking forward to OTA-5
(and all the future updates). Also thanks for including the most up-to-date
translations in OTA-5 despite the hassle involved.

Cheers,
Torsten
