Sounds like a fucking retarded idea

For those that depend on Linux, it's not a bad concept. There was a similar concept for Windows Phone as well.....except docking the phone would present you with a full blown Windows desktop instead of Linux.

I'm still waiting to find out what phone maker supposedly signed a deal with Canonical for Ubuntu Touch. I'll be surprised if that doesn't end up in "limbo" with Ubuntu for Android...

I think this is a fascinating concept, but too bad it seems to have stalled. This has the potential to actually bridge portability with productivity.
Perhaps if OnePlus takes off, they will consider a 2nd line of phones with Ubuntu. I can see them being an ideal partner that Canonical needs.

I'd take Ubuntu touch, Ubuntu phone is less interesting

Ubuntu Touch, is the official name of "Ubuntu Phone".... Ubuntu on Android is a completely different concept.

Actually this is a great concept. imagine your office only need to provide you a monitor, a mouse, a keyboard, and a compatible phone. Saving the company's budget and improving the employee's mobility and portability at the same time. No more worries about carrying a laptop everywhere with you or forget to bring one.
