Hopefully this means Ubuntu for Android[0] is getting ready for primetime. I'm stoked about the future with this. A phone which boots into Ubuntu when docked, and allows me to get rid of all other devices is the stuff of dreams for me.

Yes, I could use that approach as well, especially if rdp was supported when docked.

  freerdp runs well in Ubuntu today. Additionally, we've baked thin client support into Ubuntu Desktop starting with the most recent release (12.10). Ubuntu for Android is positioned as a fully functional desktop on your phone. I'll leave it up to you to connect the rest of the dots. For some more details, my blog: http://www.chizang.net/alex/blog/2012/09/27/ubuntu-12-10-remote-greeter/ http://www.chizang.net/alex/blog/2012/09/27/ubuntu-12-10-rem...

Ubuntu for Android is a separate, but related effort. Again, quoting Mark: "We have two short cycles before we’re into the LTS, and by then we want to have the phone, tablet and TV all lined up." [speaking individually, not representing Canonical]

  So there will be Ubuntu for Android and a separate Ubuntu Mobile? You probably can't answer that, but doesn't hurt to try :). Are you able to say anything about Ubuntu for Android? It's been pretty quiet ever since it got announced, though there was a video in August showing it off.

    I will simply say that we've got a broad portfolio of current and future products, spanning the entire range from the data center down to your personal devices, and we are working hard at commercializing all of them. Sorry for the platitudes; I'm not authorized to speak on behalf of anyone other than myself.

      Completely understandable. Good luck in bringing those products to market, hopefully it's not too long before you'll be able to discuss them openly.
