The most opportunities I can see for UBports is custom OEM buildouts for large corporate.
For example, food retailer Chik-Fil-A goes through hundreds of IPads a year. (overheating)
Panera kiosks are all iPad based.
So look for large markets where a corporate may want a custom label (and secure) tablet front end for order or retail.
Provide the hooks for ecosystem integration (like VMWare AirWatch) would be a great start.
I went back and installed the original Ubuntu Touch with the SPFlash Tool and was able to update to the latest UBPorts version using the desktop app with no issues after that. Thanks for the prompt feedback everyone.
With BQ formally out of business now, it will give my M10FHD some extended life. I still remember how excited I was when it arrived from Spain here in the US way back when.
I will send a donation to the UB Ports Team as soon as I finish checking everything out.
I have been intimately involved in a corporate tablet specification, bake off and decision process, so I am not blind to anything that is required to use tablets in a corporate space.
In the bake off it really came down to the ecosystem surrounding the product. Not the apps running themselves. The apps were developed in house or used off the shelf commercial apps modified for their internal purposes.
I personally pitched an OEM Linux based tablet approach based on the fact that the use of Linux was already universal within the company.
No one would say (and I repeat, no one) would say running RHEL in a datacenter cloud is the same as running tablets in the field, but many of the required knowledge and tools sets are similar. The synergy and interest in career portability was very, very high.
I am not at liberty to share all the details of the decision process, nor can I share who won the bake off, all I can say is that all the low level technical requirements were easily met with a Linux based tab. Many of them were very, very specific that the competitors had to jump through hoops to support.
Everyone has to meet their needs in their own ways, I am only throwing out what examples exist. I am sorry that my 5 sentence post over estimates their needs in your mind, as I didn't expect to write a large justification of it, merely make a thought provoking suggestion.
