Canonical Ubuntu and Android Dual Boot Released

The dual-boot Ubuntu image works well with AOSP or stock versions of Android as well as CyanogenMod ones. Booting backwards and forwards between OSes isn’t done by key combinations or tricky procedures, but rather with apps with a simple UI.

The Android app that Canonical has provided manages the installation of Ubuntu, as well as updates and rebooting into the Linux distribution.Vice-versa, there’s a corresponding app in Ubuntu Touch that handles rebooting in Android.

Installing and running dual boot can be done in a few easy steps. In a nutshell, it requires performing a one-off installation of the dual boot app in Android, which will enable you to both install the version of Ubuntu of your choice, and to reboot into Ubuntu.

If you’re feeling adventurous follow these steps to install Ubuntu Touch dual boot on your Android smartphone. Make sure to read the instructions twice before attempting anything.

HTC's upcoming All new HTC One , codenamed M8, has been tipped for the announcement in March 25th. But the latest set of photos from a Chinese Weibo site leave nothing to the imagination, showing a possible China Mobile retail model from nearly all sides.

Earlier this year Acer quietly launched the new Iconia Tab A200 dual-core Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet, then quickly made it one of the first to ICS with an update in February. While we haven’t seen or heard much of it since becoming available, today at Computex they are showing off its bigger and faster brother complete with NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 under the hood. Acer didn’t show much of the new A210, but we did manage to notice it was complete with basically the same specs as the original other than a few changes. Rocking a 10-inch 1280 x 800 resolution display, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage. The differences however is you’ll get the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core 1.2 GHz processor instead of the older dual-core the A200 has. The new A210 will be running on Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, and even support for 3G connectivity. The only problem here is the addition of data support, and a quad-core processor it only comes with a small 3260 mAh battery. The new A210 takes the few t
