Canonical's Latest Demo Of Ubuntu Unity 8 Convergence In Action

Written by Michael Larabel in Ubuntu on 27 February 2015 at 08:56 AM EST. 59 Comments

A new video is out showing the latest work on Ubuntu's Unity 8 interface and the convergence user experience across phones, tablets, and desktop PCs.

Will Cooke, the Ubuntu Desktop Manager at Canonical, posted a new video of Unity 8's convergence functionality in action. This video is in the lead-up to Mobile World Congress where Ubuntu on phones will be on display from Meizu with their MX4 and BQ with their initial Ubuntu Phone handset. It will be interesting to see if Canonical has any other surprises at the event.

Mobile World Congress this year is happening in Barcelona from 2 to 5 March; more details on MWC2015 at MobileWorldCongress.com.
