wrstchris4585: hello19:08
chris4585morning wrst19:12
wrstchris4585: afternoon... checking out the ubuntu tablet stuff19:13
chris4585neat, I heard about it19:13
wrsti must say it looks interesting19:16
wrstwish i had a nexus device19:16
wrsti woudl try it out19:16
chris4585I guess I would, I'm not really a tablet person19:22
chris4585haven't really seen it yet though19:23
wrstit looks nice chris4585, but i'm a borderline tablet person19:47
chris4585well.. if I can install native linux apps then I'd be sold19:48
wrstchris4585: that's what has me interested in it19:48
wrsti see skype on their app list19:48
chris4585if I can install quodlibet I'd be happy19:49
wrstso makes me wonder if its a compatibility layerish kind of thing or maybe skype was compiled to run on arm19:49
chris4585oh probably19:49
chris4585in a video mark says "we have rich native applications"19:52
chris4585so I only assume yes19:52
chris4585alright he said it clearly, that makes it an easy decision for myself..19:56
chris4585I just wonder what the battery is like19:59
wrstchris4585: I really don't care as bad as that sounds :)20:34
wrsti want it20:34
chris4585lol how does that sound bad?20:37
chris4585oh, gotcha20:37
chris4585well, I'd buy a nice android tablet, but I'd much rather have the capabilities to run native linux apps on tablets any day over poopie apps20:38
wrstyep me too chris4585, but android has some nice apps, but having the same apps on whatever device is very appealing20:45
wrstand they seem to adapt unity pretty nicely, its not just the desktop version on a touch device20:45
wrstbut that would be a bit of an issue the native desktop apps aren't made for touch devices20:45
wrstbut put ubuntu on a tablet and 10 days someone will have the google play store and its apps working on it :)20:46
chris4585doesn't really bother me too much tbh about desktop apps20:47
wrstdoesn't bother me terribly but I would understand that lots of users wouldn't21:02
wrstoh i played with a surface finally at staples over the weekend21:03
chris4585nice, I've played with it too, its kind of nice, but I don't care about the whole windows eco system21:08
wrstyeah chris4585 my thoughts22:01
wrsti think the hardware is pretty good22:01
wrstthe software is just so-so at best22:01
wrstbut its also pretty much a 1.0 device22:02
chris4585yeah22:16
wrstbut its microsoft so yeah they will mess it up they seem to be everyone's whipping boy now23:59
