I believe the issue is not that they would not like to support the
existing phones, but the move to snaps will require a newer kernel, and
the hardware enablement stack available for the older hardware may not
meet the requirement, and so it may be impossible.... exactly whether it
will be possible or not, may not even be known.

Awesome - can't wait to test it on my M10! Does this mean current
phone handsets aren't being planned to update to snaps? I.e. - will
there be a future image for the MX5pro, or will we need to wait until
the next lot of phones comes out?
Cheers,
Mitchell

I would add the Unity8 desktop needs parity with

Thanks all for your patience

Thanks for the clarity. Those few messages we have had stating the
current logic and plans is all that was needed to keep everyone
happy. If we understand what is going on then nobody begins to
worry about the silence. Looking forward to every bit of it except
having to find the money to replace my phone!!
Just one thing, several people have said the current phones won't
support the snaps but what about the M10 tablet?
We are working on a reference image for the M10 for development and
testing work but this is not intended for "production" use at this
point.
Pat
Thanks
