If that means (as it appears) that Netflix won't be available on Ubuntu phones or tablets, that's unfortunate. On Mon, Sep 22, 2014 at 5:16 PM, Rodney Dawes wrote: > On Mon, 2014-09-22 at 17:06 -0400, John Nelson wrote: > > Now that Netflix will be made available to Ubunt

I think that of phone manufacturers are paying Canonical for exclusive scopes, the scopes should stay exclusive. The OS should be open source and generally available, but there needs to be an incentive to phone manufacturers to carry the OS on their phones, and custom-made extensions to the OS (e.g

[Ubuntu-phone] e-reader app as a core app

Just out of curiosity, why isn't an e-reader a "core app" for Ubuntu Touch? It may not be a basic function on a phone, but it certainly seems to be a "must have" for a tablet. Is there anyone working on this? The "document viewer" app included in the core apps doesn't seem to fit the bill, at lea
