I personally was really keen on the original Ubuntu concept of a single device that could represent the DEsktop - Phone as the same physical device. especially when i was considering what ASUS had created with the transformer and padfone. Even though it would not replace my main desktop it would have been a very interesting experience. and been very useable.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Unfortunately it never quire came together.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 6:40 AM, Ted Gould <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ted@gould.cx" target="_blank">ted@gould.cx</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<pre>That makes a lot more sense than a single interface to spread across all

talking to you Windows and Ubuntu). :)

I do think that it is about making them feel similar, and have common ways of doing things. That of course means not having a task bar at the bottom and a popup menu in the left corner. Which seems to be the only way Linux users want to work :-) In general, there's gonna have to be changes from everyone as we end up with a continuum of devices, but I imagine that only professionals will have dedicated "computers" in the future.<br>

I randomly ran into a Ubuntu Phone user who noticed my hat and asked if I had seen the phone. When I asked some more questions of her she mentioned that the reason she liked the phone was because it worked the same way as her desktop, which meant she had to remember less and could be more productive. Only one data point, but a rather surprising one coming out of the blue.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
