"Ubuntu TV has been unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show by British firm Canonical. The free, open-source interface enables users to access content on demand, listen to music, watch YouTube videos, and tap into social networking features through their television sets. &amp;quot;Ubuntu TV is a vision of how TV will work in the future. With no cables, no boxes and no hassles, the goal is to uncomplicate television for the average viewer while delivering to him or her all the services and options that they are becoming used to,&amp;quot; Canonical&amp;#039;s Gerry Carr wrote on the company&amp;#039;s blog.  Canonical confirmed that Ubuntu TV will include smartphone functionality. Mobile devices powered by Android, iOS or Ubuntu will serve as a second screen, picking up related content through a downloadable app. &amp;quot;[It can] provide information on movies by the same director, for example, or the reaction on Twitter during live shows - without any distraction from the action,&amp;quot; the firm added. Ubuntu TV also includes cloud storage support, allowing users to access their content on the move through a remote or smartphone. Canonical is yet to announce manufacturing partners for Ubuntu TV, but the service is expected to tie in with upcoming hardware launches.  &amp;gt; Read more tech news Watch a video demonstration of Ubuntu TV below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
