Can someone tell me what this is about? ^_^
It's a hybrid device for quad-core (or minimally, dual-core) phones
which let you dock your phone and get a full Ubuntu desktop that has all
the information (contacts, calendar, web history, photos, etc.) from
your Android phone.
It's not an Ubuntu phone, but I'd buy one tomorrow. I wouldn't have to
take my laptop back and forth to work, or to LUGs, or anything. Also I
imagine there'd be a portable cradle you can use to use your phone like
a laptop and get the desktop display.
And hey, Ubuntu TV stuffs built in too!
