Let's hope Canonical can actually deliver this time.

Oooh. So this'll probably require a rooted phone and they're targeting enterprise. This will be epic if they also release it to the community, though.

So you plug it onto that obscure dock that connects to a TV/Monitor and run Ubuntu (not on top of Android but separated from it) using the phones Hardware?

I wish it was just Ubuntu on the phone, running instead of Android as the main OS (unlike all the GNU/Linux running ontop of it in a VM)... but well, seems interesting...

You can run a chrooted Linux on your android phone already and use VNC to login on the phone itself, or from any computah. It's fun to have a full OS hidden.

@293,320 (TheSheep !kJ.A4PF7.k)
Yeah, but this way you can run Android apps in a special window on Ubuntu without emulation. I think this is necessary given that Android is getting more attention from developers.

@previous (D)
Tell me how. Would love to do this.
