By Brandon Russell | 203
Not only is Canonical working on getting Ubuntu for smartphones ready for consumers, but a tablet-optimized version in in the plans as well. The company put up a teaser on its website on Monday, pointing to an announcement on Feb. 19—the same day HTC is taking the stage to announce its new flagship smartphone.
We got a brief glimpse at Ubuntu for smartphones back at CES, and it showed plenty of promise. But it’s certainly a niche OS targeting toward a more specific audience—for now.

So stay tuned, guys. In less than 24 hours, we’ll see what Ubuntu for tablets is like.
