The WebApps feature, coming in Ubuntu Linux 12.10, will allow web services such as Gmail and Facebook to run as separate applications integrated with desktop services.
Canonical has developed a feature for Ubuntu Linux allowing it to run web pages as though they were desktop applications, something the company calls Ubuntu WebApps.
The feature, announced at the O’Reilly Open Source Conference (OSCON) in Portland, Oregon this week, is a further step towards integrating web services into the desktop, something companies such as Apple, Google and Microsoft have pursued with initiatives of their own.
