Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex has focus on 3G

I’m interested to see the next Ubuntu 8.10a release introduces 3G networking. It’s pretty exciting to think that an operating system that moves as quickly as Ubuntu will be running on mobile devices. As a web application developer, I see that the mobile browser is a great way to provide a user interface to mobile apps, but that underlying access to the hardware will provide the possibility of the most interesing applications. An open OS will surely make this access much easier.
