Ubisoft released 7 minutes of game segments from Far Cry 3. I'm a bit worried for the XP counter and I didn't saw much advantage with stealth on the video, which is one of the best points of the first Far Cry. Perhaps there's a difficulty setting for the later so I'm also not too worried about it. Overall,  . |

Some people gonna hate that...but i feel it fits well with the concept.... ...I feel funny    |

That's pretty damn cool. But I imagine the phone needs to be quite powerful to run an Ubuntu desktop at a usable speed.

Hmm, so I can carry Ubuntu on my phone and plug it to any computer provided I also carry the dock with me? Couldn't I just install Linux to memorystick and run it from that? I mean, I don't very often encounter separate monitors with keyboards etc. but which lack a PC-unit  Or did I understand something wrong? Or perhaps it is just me who wouldn't have much use for this. |

Yeah, it requires a dual-core phone with 512mb ram. It won't run Quake 4 on it but it's still pretty cool when you're out and you want to access your personal data from a monitor. Or yet, could be some sort of PC+phone combo for anyone that doesn't want to spend money on both of them.
Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.
Nope, you've to connect to a monitor. You could run Linux from a pen but I think the audience of the phone will be:
-Less tech sawy people.
-People who want their documents on a phone and a PC at the same time.
-People that want a relatively cheap PC+Phone combo.
-Ubuntu lovers. (hehe)
So I don't have a use for it either but like the Raspberry Pi project I think this is a big achievement for technology.

Yeah, it is definitely a kind of "wake up" for how technology has advanced enough that desktop OS can be run from smartphone, but other than that it seems rather gimmicky to me. -Less tech sawy people.
-People who want their documents on a phone and a PC at the same time.
-People that want a relatively cheap PC+Phone combo.
-Ubuntu lovers. (hehe) While I think you have some points here I think that: 1. Even though things have been changing lately, Usually "less tech savvy" people tend to not use Linux, even Ubuntu. 2. There is lots of syncing services which IMO are rather easier to use. Probably just matter of opinion so you have a point I guess. 3. Seems like a really niche group to me. 4.  I think that some businessmen might have some use for this, but even then if one would want portable OS, memory-stick would work pretty much as well since like I already said, place which has monitor and keyboard probably has a pc-unit too  Of course booting from stick needs a bit knowledge but using Linux itself still needs a bit higher expertise than Windows IMO. But yeah, it is technologically cool. Don't just see much coolness in its functionality though. |

For most people I can see how can it be reluctant. I already have a PC at home and I'm not really interested on having a PC on my phone. So as a tech geek I'm probably biased by the technicalities of it rather than the usefulness that can have on most individuals. =p
As for the audiences: I think that Ubuntu is appealing to less tech sawy audience. It might not be very known for anyone outside of the interest of computers but I think that Canonical makes Ubuntu easy enough to use for these individuals, being this phone the case in point.
As for the third group I think one of the reasons Apple implemented OTA (over the air) updates on iOS 5 was because there were a lot of houses that used an iOS device as their sole device to go to the internet, as they didn't have a computer. So this was why I thought that a phone with Ubuntu would be a nice pack for these houses.
Overall I'm interested on what this can lead, even if I don't have a use for it.

I don't know. As long as nothing goes wrong where you have to mess with the terminal, I guess. |

It's going to be awesome when we start getting laptop shells for smartphones. Just slide your phone into the side of your laptop and watch for the magic.  I personally see that as the next step for this tech. Because, come on, like noted there's not really much use to having it as a desktop. But as a smartphone and a laptop? I could go for that. |

There better be more perks for sliding a PDA into a shell rather than just a larger resolution. I expect hardware support. Possibly even more power inside the shell.

I think that's a possibility.
Extra ports is a must, just like a regular laptop has ports. Other things could be an extended battery and external graphics card. Maybe even an extra storage drive.
With something like thunderbolt I think you'd have the necessary data throughput to manage all of those components's I/O with a single or double connection.(because if you have to slide in a PDA it needs to go in and out easily and smoothly)

The Motorola Atrix already does that. |
