I really wonder whether this is going to be a partnership with Xiaomi...

after Hugo Barra went there from Google and made this quote "“If I do my job right, in a few years, the world will be talking about Xiaomi in the same way that they talk about Google and Apple today.”"

It appears the company will be gearing up for a big smartphone release in 2014, which would also fit into the timelines here.

Xiaomi tends to be known for the high-performance low-price phones, but have always had poor software letting the devices down.




I think/hope it will be some of those "chinese phones" which is quite interesting. Even the big ones of them like Huawei, make really good phones for good prices. Thats why I did not understand the hype about this Motorola thing for 200 bucks or something. Those china guys do this for quite a while and are now really pushing here (europe) in the market with really quality and competitive phones.


that would be awesome.

Xiaomi sells their smartphone at cost and monetizes customers through add on services. I'm not quite sure what add on services they can add on Ubuntu.
