Ubuntu full desktop OS is coming to multi-core Android-based devices
Do you own an Android-powered device? A lover of Ubuntu's OS? Well, soon you could be enjoying the best of both worlds. Ubuntu now runs on multi-core Android-based devices, where your handset can allow the full desktop experience of Ubuntu, when docked with a display and keyboard.
The Ubuntu OS running is a customized version that works with Android, with the two OS's sharing data and services while running simultaneously. This means you can keep your telephony access and texts all from the Ubuntu OS, while enjoying the computing capabilities that Ubuntu offers, including Ubuntu TV, virtualization tools for running Windows applications, desktop web browsers, and Ubuntu apps built for ARM.
At the moment, it's not known which exact hardware is required to run Ubuntu on Android-based devices, but Canonical has said it works on multi-core devices with HDMI and USB connections. More details on this should be unleashed at MWC next week.
