Ubuntu 12.04 'Precise Pangolin' Officially launched. Some cool new features offered

New offerings in  Ubuntu 12.04 Long Term Support code name 'Precise Pangolin'



Ubuntu has released its 12.04 Long Term Support OS for Desktop, Server, Cloud and Core products. Here are some the cool new features offered.

Heads Up Display (HUD):

The new HUD gives you a fast alternative to the traditional, menu-based way of telling your computer what to do. Instead of clicking on menu items to give it instructions, you just press one key to bring up the HUD and start typing what you want to do. You’ll then get a list of functions, without ever needing to know in which menu they live.


 

The Video Lens:

The new Video Lens makes it easier than ever to find the videos you want to watch. Just click on the icon on the Dash and enter your text to search. Whether it’s stored on your computer, on YouTube or anywhere else, you’ll soon see a list of matching content.


Shotwell:

Shotwell is an image organizer designed to provide personal photo management for the GNOME desktop environment. Shotwell is replacing F-Spot as the default image organizer for Ubuntu.



Being somebody interested in multimedia apps, i thought these are some nice offerings in this version of ubuntu. Please do write back if you have explored any other interesting features in ubuntu.
