Hello all,

I am quite curious about the current state of "Desktop Mode" praised by
Ubuntu Touch announcements when it was show to the world.

I searched about it on the Wiki and could not find any technical documents.

The thing that I am most curious now is how it is supposed to work when
'docked', and what 'docked' would mean in this case. Plugging in an USB
keyboard? An HDMI monitor/TV?

Will it work with hardware such as the Atrix Lapdock (which I happen to own
to use with my Ubuntu ARM devices), the padfone tablet dock, or the
kickstarter project

?

How is it supposed to work with devices that do not have an HDMI-out plug
like the officially-supported Nexus devices? Will it implement something
like a virtual device on wifi via DLNA?

What are the use cases for which this functionality is being planned?

Best regards,
