KDE enters the mobile development space

[Stephen Partington]

That i really the crux of it. Having the ability to have a similarly usable
experience between devices. 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.

Unfortunately it never quire came together.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
