With the news of Mountain Lion out in the open, a lot of integration between iOS and the new OS is being talked about. The desktop OS is trying to be closer to the mobile one thus making the transition seemless. People are also talking about how this might impact the mobile industry and work against Android. When I thought about it, I felt that the argument made sense.
Today I saw the news on Ubuntu for Android. I read further about it in here, here and here. This is a truly novel idea. One device which gives you two different experiences and without any compromise (if it really works like it says). I truly will be able to use a device in two different fully functional and integrated modes (ok, that is repeating the previous line but I just am amazed at the idea). And best part is that it is favorite desktop OS too. Just reading about the amount of synchronization and synergy there will be (sharing the same kernel surely helps) and what can I do with both is really amazing.
One thing that is not clear is the kind of ubuntu based application that will be available on this ubuntu version. More news might trickle down the line.
Now, if you don't want to read all of these links which I have provided above and just want to taste of this thing then jump straight to the below video:
