อัปเดต: 29 เมษายน 2016
Investments บางอย่าง Financial บางอย่าง Emotional Linux on Tablets แรงจูงใจผม Emotional ส่วนมาก Super-excited BQ Launch Tablet Ubuntu รอ 3 ปี Solid ปีก่อน Phone Released ตอนนี้ Tablet Cycle Almost Complete
รู้ว่าผม Mildly Pleased Ubuntu Phone Neat Product แต่ Not Yet Good As Competitors Across Usability Spectrum แต Tablet นี้ Promise มาก Full HD Desktop-Touch Continuum Seamless Usage Model มาดู
Specifications
Glimpse Technical Data -> Preorder Device ภายในไม่กี่วันจาก Release Mid-April เครื่องมาถึง พร้อม Screen Protector Blue Case ไม่แน่ใจต้องใช้ ผม Pedantic Clean Nice Hardware Still May Feature In Review

First Steps
Power On Quick Initial Setup Fast Simple Choose: No Lock, PIN, Full Passphrase ผมลอง Passphrase Works Fine แต่ Cumbersome PIN Auto Unlock ถ้าพิมพ์ถูก Password ต้อง Enter Return Virtual Keyboard Laggy Sub-100ms แต่รู้สึกได้ Internal Storage Security: Encryption In Use?
Device Connect 2.4/5GHz Networks Neat ทั้งคู่ Strong Steady Speed Good Enough Getting Ahead At This Point Just Setup Enable GPS HERE Maps Location Improved Whatnot Done Aquaris M10 Ready
Enter The Touch
Unity Mode (ไม่สับสน Unity อื่นๆ) คล้าย Phone แต่จอใหญ่ Horizontal Equity มากกว่า Overall Works Well Scopes Add/Remove As Fit News: Don't Care Don't Want First Item After Login
Application Menu Pleasing Practical Lock Screen Familiar Notifications System Settings Branding Good
Network Connectivity
M10 Wireless Nice Bluetooth Too Connect Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Phone No Trouble Stream Audio Pair Windows 10 G50 Laptop OK Mint 17.3 ไม่ได้ Send/Receive Files Yet No Proper File Management Big Issue Ubuntu Touch
Applications
Make/Break OS: App Ecosystem และ Ease Interface Core Functionality Always True Critical Touch-based Systems
At Moment Ubuntu Touch No Clout vs iOS/Android/Windows Phone Some Apps Mostly Web Links No Uniform SSO Across Software Manual Work Needed 7Digital Music Store Require Account Buy Songs Why? Enthused Want Spend Money Why Not Associate Ubuntu Account Solve It? Force Lose Elan/Gusto Register Another Website Meh
Desktop Apps There But Not All Behave Weirdly Unity Mode Firefox GIMP Ugly Unusable Unless Switch Desktop Most People Won't Know/Care Perhaps Shouldn't Show In App Scope Unless Certified Touch
Works But: Ugly Menus Too Small Touch Not Meant To Be When Jester Sang...
HERE Maps Spectacular As Expected But Want HERE Drive App Added Too Transit Free uNav Nice Not Invade Privacy Conflict: Users Want A->B Don't Care Politics Seriously
Don't Get Same Rich Repertoire Standard Desktop Edition Ubuntu Store No VLC What! Didn't Find Decent File Manager Ties Missing Functionality Search Clunky File Manager Really?
Skype/Steam? Why Not Top/Hot Recommendations? Games? Show Friends/Colleagues Want Delight Not Talk Terminal Only App Found Easily
Cardinal Differences Standard Ubuntu vs This: Processor Architecture Intel vs ARM? But Desktop Mode Want All Goodies All Of Them
File Management
Eventually Found Core App But Crippled vs Desktop Can't Bookmark Locations But Connect Samba Shares Copy Files Music/Video OK Can't Multi-select Objects Samba Filenames Truncated Not Biggest Biggie
Copy Files En Masse: Connect Tablet USB To Proper Computer At Least This Worked Smoothly Easily
Media & Money
Moderate Success Can't Play AVI What! WebM Video ไม่เล่น VLC Handy Music Better MP3 Support But Not Expected
ลอง Play Video Clip SEAT Leon ไม่ให้ What's Up With That?
See This More Often Than Actual Clips
Attempts Play Music/Video Show In Scopes Success/Fail Tease Can't Play File Better Not Show Glorious Thumbology Slightly Weird Inconsistent Thumbnail Sizes Annoys OCD Demons
Youtube Playback Wonky Watch Clips But Ask Login Don't Need Install Youtube-facing Apps All Ask Login Not Streamlined
Commercial Model Missing Cinema Search App Movies Scope Search Titles Variety/Repertoire Good But No Buy Option Only IMDB/Google Info Seriously?
Music Advanced But Problems: Currency Wrong System Identified Optimal Let Shop But Can't Shop Need Account C'mon Choice Good Really Good Found Old/New Foreign/English Niche/Weird But Not Tied/Associated/Embedded Tablet Account Management So Close
Camera
Cameras Work Fine Rear Decent Need Test Outside Good Lighting Embarrassed Look Git Wielding Tablet Photography Front Neat Handsome Staring Mirror Mirror On GNU Who's Fairest Nerd
Gestures & Corners
Worked Fine All Corners/Gestures Special Function/Swipe Like Phone Familiar UX Important No Complaints Performance Later
Privacy & Security
No Complaints Specific Glaring Issues Want More Integration Options/Services Amazon Thingie Didn't Work Desktop Makes Perfect Sense Here Why Not Have It?
Desktop Mode
Escalate Quickly Ron Burgundy Style Key Selling Point: Convergence Default M10/Ubuntu Tablet = Touch Mode Flick Switch -> Desktop Mode Menu Top-left Windows Borders Buttons As Expected Makes Sense: Use Tablet As Desktop Connected External Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor
Not Much Exploration Yet Purposely Split Ubuntu Tablet Experience Multiple Articles LG Smart TV Monitor Wireless Keyboard Raspberry Pi Games Feature Separate Review
Performance & Stability
Really Big One Mega Mega ~4 Hours Testing Touch Interface Frozen Stopped Responding 5 Times Horrible Responsiveness Wonky Slight Perceptible Lag Fluidity Windows/Apps Move/Respond
Scale Against Other Touch OS: Ubuntu Feels Very Early Alpha Must Fix Urgently Core Stability Without It No Chance Then Performance Swift Graceful Smooth Like Ballet Samsung Note Tablet Older But Flies Comparison Little Things Milliseconds Lost Scrolling
Stability Always Issue iPhone Loses Touch 1/2 Weeks Displeased Product Only Reason Using: Reviews + Free M10 Paid Top Dollar Want Enjoy
Are You Having Fun?
Well Some Nice But Lot More To Do
