Release History
In June 2008, Ubuntu MID Edition 8.04 was released. Ubuntu MID Edition ended active development after 9.10 Alpha 6.
The development of MID has stopped, but Ubuntu continues to work on mobile distributions such as Kubuntu Mobile or the ARM version of Ubuntu.
Since the October 2011 Ubuntu Development Summit (UDS), there is new mobile interface in active development. In 2014, Canonical plans to release Ubuntu for mobiles, tablets and televisions alongside already existing Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server. This means creating a universal interface, that would adapt its shape according to the device it runs on. Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Canonical, said the interface is going to be based on Unity (actual desktop environment, developed by Canonical in 2010).
