Ubunutu - Phones and Tablets, Interesting?
Yesterday Ubuntu announced their view on a tablet and I for one am intrigued. I have already thought about getting a Nexus 4 just to run the phone OS and now am contemplating both. Anyone else?

I've often wished that, when travelling, I could avoid taking my linux laptop & just take a MHL-hdmi adapter to plug to the hotel's TV, and a bluetooth keyboard. Android is so uncomfortable when using it like this that its not practical for me. This seems like it might make that goal a reality. However, and this is a big however, there is no phone ecosystem. Will there be maps with turn-by-turn navigation? What about the random apps you rely on? Eg, I use a T-Mobile monthly 4G plan, and the last person to have my number was a deadbeat. I ended up having to install a call blocking app to avoid getting woken up by debt collectors looking for this deadbeat. I doubt that there will be a call-blocking app in Ubuntu on day 0. Similarly, I bought an app to scan library books for their "AR" number, for this reading contest thing my Kid is involved with at school. I'm pretty sure there will be no AR scanning app either...

Turn by turn would be an app that I would need to replace. Other than that, I don't use my phone for much more than phone, email, sms, web browsing, and an occasional game.
The Nexus 4/Nexus 7 would have a nice fallback of going back to Android should things not pan out in Ubuntu land too.

I can see myself trying it out... but I'm not sure that I'm ready to go full Ubuntu Tablet/Phone... even though that is what I use for my work and home computers

Interesting. I prefer iPhone and iPad over the android line. Having said that, I am always open to a better product as I used both in business. I will watch this.
