This, though, is a potentially possible route. Same as you can install the `ubuntu-restricted-extras` package and get Java, Flash, MS Core Fonts, etc. If you could install a hacked Sailfish Java runtime and get apps that way, then it'd be cool and helpful -- while keeping the noobs away. But Sailfish, AIUI, is derived from Moblin and Maemo. It has an X server and all that. It's very different from Ubuntu Mobile. OTOH, if Ubuntu, Jolla and Blackberry formed a consortium to develop and support an unofficial, 3rd party, FOSS Android Java Runtime for their 3 mobile OSes, it would be to the advantage of all of them. So might unicorns that poop icecream that was then delivered by flying pigs, though. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
