"Ubuntu Phone" on the way?

Just behind the start of CES 2012, it is natural that all kinds of rumors floating around, but that Canonical is really interesting: we can very soon have an "Ubuntu phone" making faces.

Relax, this is just an illustration by a user.
In fact, all information is rather vague, but some clues can be decisive in the elucidation of the mystery: we know that the Canonical has promised to show a "concept device" at CES (without giving further information about what this would be such a device). But another issue that was pointed out, Canonical will also be present naMobile World Congress!

The GSMA Mobile World Congress Congress, which runs from February 27 to March 1, is a major world events in the industry of mobile devices, and can be decisive for the piece the puzzle that Canonical set up for the ESC. Many suggest that we will see very soon a smartphone running Ubuntu there.

It costs nothing to remember, Canonical is already signaling interest in releasing versions of Ubuntu for tablets and smartphones is a good time. Unity, default window manager in Ubuntu seems to have been made ​​especially for mobile devices. Canonical's innovations in the area of ​​cloud computing, such as Ubuntu One, also show an interest in integrating cellular / computers.

But wait, that for now this is all just a rumor, and even then it may be that Canonical only provides proof of concept, something to draw the attention of potential partners and manufacturers to who knows, maybe someday, God willing , someone would even dare to make a machine with Ubuntu. Or maybe we already have a device ready next week.
