Ubuntu Edge: founder says failure isn't the end of the dream (Guardian)

Indeed, it makes little sense on a phone, unless you use an external HDMI monitor and bluetooth keyboard/mouse. Which seems to be Shuttleworth's vision. But I'm not even convinced of that: someone who wants to work on the go would prefer a lightweight and inexpensive laptop dock (the combo has to be cheaper and more convenient than separate phone+laptop), rather than hunt for monitors. The convergence that works for me is tablet-laptop: my Note 8 is effectively my laptop now.
