Re: Ubuntu phone

Thomi, that would be great!!! I'm there!!!

LibreOffice was just as an example of a large software suite that is still
tied to resources - Google Drive on my iPad < ducks from the thrown abuse
;) > serves me well for most document editing needs, but there are still a
few things we can't crunch on a CPU that doesn't need a fan and together
with a whole-day battery can fit into my pocket. Editing just a small
section of text in a 200MB Illustrator file in Inkscape, searching through
the 8000 emails in my email client, or splitscreening between video news
and a Word document still need grunt, but I can't wait for the day that I
can connect my bluetooth keyboard to my phone, plug a nice single slimline
connector into my phone that connects to my monitors, usb hub and charger
and get on with work. That will be heaven, and I'm sure it's not too far
away now*.

* in the grand scheme of things.
