Yes, that’s right, we’re talking about the OTA-13 update, which should arrive this fall with numerous new features, many improvements to existing components, as well as countless bug fixes. One feature that caught our attention is the rename of the Libertine Scope introduced in the OTA-12 release to “Desktop Apps.” If you haven’t heard of the new Libertine Scope, we would like to inform you that it has been added as part of the Ubuntu Touch OTA-12 software update for Ubuntu Phone and Tablet devices that support execution of X apps on top of the Ubuntu mobile operating system. The Scope just lists the installed X apps and lets users open them quickly.
