However the new features created by Michael Zanetti provides ability to load apps into windows and move them about.

The new under development Ubuntu smartphone operating system is currently supported for Google Nexus 4, the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi, and the Nexus 10 smartphones but can also be an officially loaded onto a range of other devices depending on your needs.
Retail smartphones running the new Ubuntu touch friendly operating system are expected to go on sale later this year although no specific release date or pricing has been announced as yet.
