[Ubuntu-phone] 32 bits apps on the M10 tablet

2016-02-05 Thread Alberto Mardegan
Hi all! A question for those working on the just announced M10 tablet: will we be able to run 32bit arm applications (that is, the same binaries we are producing for the phones) on it? As far as I understand, the CPU is capable of running both 64 and 32 bits applications, and I presume that the
