Software Developer Explains Why The Ubuntu Phone Failed
troublemaker_23 quotes ITWire:A developer who worked with the Ubuntu Phone project has outlined the reasons for its failure, painting a picture of confusion, poor communication and lack of technical and marketing foresight. Simon Raffeiner stopped working with the project in mid-2016, about 10 months before Canonical owner Mark Shuttleworth announced that development of the phone and the tablet were being stopped. Raffeiner says, for example, that "despite so many bugs being present, developers were not concentrating on fixing them, but rather on adding support for more devices." But he says he doesn't regret the time he spent on the project -- though now he spends his free time "traveling the world, taking photographs and creating bad card games, bad comics and bad games." "Please note that this post does not apply to the UBPorts project, which continues to work on the phone operating system, Unity 8 and other components."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
