The perfect device, that one I've dreamed forever...

With Microsoft Surface, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, the ASUS Padfone, ASUS Transformer, and an Ubuntu announcement that made my hopes rise, I knew that my dream is come coming closer and closer to fruition. Picture this:

You wake up with your phone's alarm on your nightstand, look at weather and your upcoming schedule.

Then you drop your phone in it's tablet shell to speed through and fire off a few emails. Maybe look up the latest news, run through those rss feeds, look up some recent tweets...

Packing your bag for work you pull your phone out of the shell and toss the shell and its keyboard attachment into your bag. Check the traffic on the way to work on your phone.

Ubuntu for Android
Once you get to work you can dock your phone with a full operating system launched. Capable of everything a full-fledged OS can and should do. So when you go out on the floor, do you need a tablet for large viewing screen or handwriting? No worries, you've got the accessory.

So what happens when you want to take this awesome ecosystem with you. How do you keep a minimalist working space while on the road? Common, lightweight peripherals keep you working on the road.

So who's coming out with this product you ask? Well, sadly, no one yet. ASUS is leading with the way going from phone to tablet to laptop. Microsoft comes up from behind with a unified Windows 8 with sharing the same kernels on Windows Phone 8. Apple is nowhere close. But! Ubuntu wins so far by a landslide with their Ubuntu for Android. Docking a PHONE and becoming a FULL BLOWN desktop OS! That's right! With everything a full blown desktop OS can and should do.

So here's the time it takes to figure out the perfect symbiosis and create this marvelous device! I can't wait to see what comes out. For me, I'm fine buying an ASUS Padfone and trying to mod Android to work with Ubuntu.

But for now, I'm stuck trying to get Banshee to notice my god damn Galaxy SII Skyrocket!
