Has anybody noticed countdown on ubuntu.com main page with words 'Tick, tock, tablet time!' ? Ubuntu for Android tablets? Would be great

have you noticed the ubuntu.com frontpage? http://www.ubuntu.com/

"Tick, Tock, tablet time! 02:31:05"
and counting down.

My guess would be that it is to do with the Nexus 7 installer https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7 , but it would be nice if it were some custom hardware.

(its been pointed out that HTC have a similar countdown on their homepage http://www.htc.com/uk/ )

Well, when it comes to here (Central Europe) I cannot see any countdown.
Maybe, something is about to come for your local market?

Thread moved to Mobile Technology Discussions.

Thanks for the links. I'll be watching with interest too.

This other page by HTC has a very similar countdown:

Coincidence?

The HTC announcement seems to be unrelated.

Ubuntu site down, but looks like some news sites had the info under embargo http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/19/can...ce=twitterfeed
