Yea I was about to say.... my browser says 00:00:00 and nothing is happening.

Doesn't seem like it will break into the top three mobile operating systems, but it does seem like a great alternative to Android for everyone who is rooted.
Hopefully going to be a bit faster than their website atm %-)
everyone keep on refreshing...and the site get a heavy load...
haha, the person who thought of announcing in this was probably just lost his job as he invited a DDOS attack on a magnitude they have never seen.
about 4 million people just hitting F5 over and over again.
wonder if they'll be smart and set a max connections limit, redirect all of the connections that it cannot handle to a different server
@curtisg based on the nothing I assume they did not think of that
Should have used Cloudflare.

So is anyone actually excited about this?
yep, but do you think cloudflare would like 4million + requests to their servers? meh, they can handle it.
Seem to have fixed it
They package Linux...doesn't mean they know how to configure it
I don't think so; certainly not me.
Now THAT is android competition. I want it...
Somewhat.
finally loaded for me lmao
Honestly the farther I get on this video the more and more I want Ubuntu on my phone.

It looks a lot like the Kindle Fire OS but more like Ubuntu.
Looks like it is time to develop some Ubuntu mobile apps.
Lol this video is so Apple it's not even funny
Quite literally. I'm not even sure if it's intentional or not.
"It's so amazing!!" kinda Jon Ive in drugs... ¬_¬
I'm excited about this.
What is the hype about?
itouch/iphone is bsd based, you can install linux over itouch/iphone.
you can install linux over most of the nokia phone. so is the hype about nix being on phones?
No, it's about Ubuntu being on phones.
I don't get it, what's so appealing about it?
What if 3999999 of them, due to ddos are probably going to see a cloudflare banner/notice/page/whatever for an unknown period, instead of the Ubuntu page? Better be uploading an html page redirecting to cloudflare?
Well, everyone has their own preferences, but personally speaking I think design and functionality are equally important. Ubuntu gets me there. On the face of it, an average Windows user can actually stumble around with a simplistic and visually stimulating experience, from a base installation. At the same time, it's based on Debian, my favorite Linux distribution. So it's the best of both worlds for me. Bringing it to mobile is awesome.
@jarland ubuntu phone does look good, but now we need centos phones...
