You have the problem of manufacturers, but now we dejais unsupported .
When the snap packages?
Respect to those who have purchased a phone with your s.o Arreglad
from the scopes , the aethercast and snap parciales.
You do not realize , but we have a phone , that for anything we send
to the browser. We have serious applications or games, we have
nothing.
To use a browser serves any phone constantly .

Dispite this looking like some sort of wind up I shall grace it with a considered response. Take a moment to consider Google, Samsung and Apple. Think about the amount of money they have and the size of their development staff. Now think of Canonical. No 2 bit enterprise for sure but their resources are nowhere near on par with these giants. It constantly amazes me and baffles me that a phone developed in such a manner even boots after such a short period of development!

Recall, or do some research of you cannot, the Sinclair QL. A groundbreaking computer which nobody bought because no software was available. Which nobody developed for because nobody was buying it. Ubuntu has avoided this trap, even though the big brands aren't here just yet there is software. In this day web based software is perfectly valid and acceptible and if this is not enough the wonder of open source allows YOU to step up to the plate and build whatever is missing.

Most importantly Canonical understands their own limitations and are not trying to exceed them. They havn't called Ubuntu Touch an Apple killer or anything such, they haven't claimed the masses need this. Nobody has called it production ready. So, if this is not for you then you have only yourself to blame. Linux has freedom of choice at it's heart so choose something else, Apple, Android, Windows, whatever floats your boat, get stuck in and make those changes that are needed or sit tight and be happy with the knowledge that the system is evolving. But whatever you do, don't moan about it to the people who are getting along just fine.
