snappy-ubuntu-16-04Ubuntu on the phone, tablet or desktop is not the only thing Canonical is working on in 2016, as Mark Shuttleworth and his team of skilled IoT engineers over Canonical are planning great new features for the Snappy Ubuntu Core operating system for embedded and Internet of Things devices.

We reported last week that Canonical announced the release of new Snappy Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) images with the all-snap architecture for Raspberry Pi 2 and 64-bit devices, powered by Snappy 2.0. At the moment, all these technologies are in development, but they will get a final release on April 21, 2016.
