Does anybody besides platform developers want a unified phone, tablet, and desktop experience? I certainly don't; it sounds like a very bad idea.

- sharun 10y agoEngineers overengineering things when they have no new ideas. That's the entire convergence story
- topranks 10y agoPhones are already damn powerful, and will get more so. Why should we all have to buy another completely separate computer if we want to use a mouse/keyboard/monitor, when we already have phones?
- bandrami 10y agoYou have that backwards: why should your phone present the same UI when it's plugged into a keyboard and mouse and when it's not docked?
- raverbashing 10y agoCorrect It makes no sense from an usability point of view It's like insisting on a steering wheel for a plane. Different means of interaction and limitations and use cases require different interfaces. Also the "Ubuntu on the phone thing", it seems they were doing it because of the wrong reasons (mainly "We like Linux") rather than focusing on the user and the ecosystem
