Your next computer you carry in your pocket

Canonical, Ubuntu’s father, decided he wanted to have a special role in the upcoming MWC 2012 and announced a more than interesting.
Remember the Live CDs we used to have an Ubuntu computer on any computer? Well that’s the idea behind Ubuntu for Android , only now there is no computer involved. We just need our powerful Android phone to run a full version of Ubuntu on an external display.
The next phone and computer
Does anyone doubt that the mobile phone will be the centerpiece of our computing life a few years? The situation posed for Android Ubuntu Canonical insists that idea is certainly not new. Motorola has been doing since your Motorola Atrix .
The concept of powerful mobile phone when you get home or the office installed it in a base connected to a screen (or on-screen) will be here soon. I trust it. Since our digital lives, access to Internet and computer activity much of which we will go done in the coming years will take place on a phone, why not think about using it to get to go home with the issue of autonomy screen and resolved by a base?
The technical requirements that Canonical has thought for your system is a dual core processor at 1 GHz, 512 MB of RAM , 2 GB of internal memory, outputHDMI and USB Host.
Do not use the mobile operating system but store the desktop
Ubuntu for Android Motorola takes the idea further and instead of replicating the phone operating system, directly includes a complete desktop system that becomes the principal when you connect to a screen.
Canonical bet not to include more options for mobile systems such as Android or IOS, but just use your phone and computer hardware to run a complete and functional desktop.
Ubuntu for Android allows also be executed while Android is still running. In fact, agenda or notification system is shared between them and no integration of functions of Android on the Ubuntu desktop.
