Other Ian - What do you mean when you say "desktop functionality"?

What happened to Ubuntu One? I never said they'd be independent, I

said they'd function differently from each other, since most users

will use a TV for different things from what they use their computer

for. But everything would be linked to their Ubuntu One Cloud. Nothing

would necessarily be independent. Being connected to a personal

network doesn't mean it needs to function exactly identically to, or

even have the option to function exactly identically to, a desktop

computer. They have to access the same content, and synchronize

progress through this content. Once you download a movie to your

desktop, you can start watching it on the TV, and finish form the

place you left off on your laptop before bed. Once you start listening

to music on the TV, you can move over to your smartphone and drive to

work without losing your place in the song. Complete and total system

integration with Ubuntu One; and wrapping it up in a comfortable,

simple to use 10ft UI; is where Ubuntu TV really has the possibility

to shine and succeed, not by emulating Desktop functionality.
