Now carry Ubuntu in your Pocket

"In every dual core phone, there's a PC trying to get out"

-ubuntu.com

Here comes seamless Ubuntu integration into Android. That means a full Ubuntu desktop in your docked Android phone. It doesn't mean that its going to be a "Ubuntu Phone". It means that you don't need to carry your ubuntu desktop with you, instead you can carry it in your phone, and all you need is a screen (actually another desktop). Dock your phone to a computer and get your ubuntu desktop on that computer. This is what we call seamless integration.



This new update could make you think of a cutting edge hardware requirement, but its actually quite straight forward. With a broad range of ARM and x86 hardware support, it can realistically be added to phones already in development.
One of the most interesting feature is the Ubuntu TV.
So watch out, your next desktop could be a phone.  This integration will be first shown at the Mobile World Congress next week.
