Wrong. Ubuntu Phone has the same codebase as Ubuntu on the Cloud, Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu on the Nexus 7 etc. That's the whole point. There is just one Operarting System. You can dock any phone for best experience 2 GB RAM and a quad-core ARM CPU is simply recommended.
They demoed the desktop convergence on a phone with the same hardware as the Galaxy Nexus long ago.
I don't really know why they are. It sounds pretty cool at first, but I usually don't bring a desktop monitor around with me, and I do most of my work on my desktop. I don't want 2 full desktop computers.. I think it causes two problems instead of eliminating one.

I can understand these ideas for the consumer world, but the business world is becoming more and more demanding of this type of technology. Microsoft built W8 and now CIO's can look more closely at mobile/byod options. Canonical just slam-dunked their way into that arena with the Ubuntu phone.
How many iOS or Android data centers have you ever heard of? That would be news to me! The business world is run by MS or some form of Linux. I've seen Red Hat, Suse, and Ubuntu. . . add Ubuntu for phones and now you have the ability to narrow the number of systems management panes to a level competing directly with MS.
I think this rocks!

I agree.. and I think that it sounds like a fun concept, too. But how many times have you lost your phone/had it stolen?
Now compare that to how many times you lost your work computer. I don't want to lose all my work. You know what fixes that? Something we call "Syncing", yet canonical thinks it's the very thing that needs to be "solved" yet it's still unavoidable.. Also, most companies lock their computers down to prevent misuse. It would be pretty hard to lock down your phone as many exploits/hacks can unlock a boot loader
and you could flash a new OS onto it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But then again, I've never really been fond of Ubuntu since unity, it's changed them.. So maybe I'm just biased.

Personally, I keep my phone on my person 24/7. Never lost it, and the one time I had a phone stolen it was because I left it in my jacket but took it off. If you keep it in either your pocket or your hands, then there's no way you can lose it.
As for locking the phone down, who's to say you can't lock a phone down as securely as a computer? It's not like you can't plug computers into other devices as well. It's not that phones can't be as secure as a computer, it's just that they generally aren't. That's not to say that no-one could come in and fix that.

Yep
Planned on using it as a business tool but nothing that I currently use interfaces easily with it. Nice for watching vids, a bit of surfing although it seems to have issues rendering quickly a lot of sites and for looking cool but it just ain't cutting it. I don't even carry it with me any more.
Not yet
So far I'm still enjoying it, I'm glad I didn't get a 7" tablet.
I still enjoy my PC more. Yesterday I installed Win8 on my laptop, for a pre beta it runs well. Hope we can install in the future on the TouchPad.
There's always a solution...develop some apps. This is XDA after all, not noobcentral.com
Not me, just got ubuntu on my tp and oced it to 1.728 with all performance patches installed. Mobile Flash games run FLAWLESSY on the browser. m.kongregate.com
What did everyone expect when buying it? With everyone getting "tired" of things so fast, its no wonder companies play with us the way they do. They know with the new "oooh its shiny!" Loads of cash will be but down no matter what unfished state its in at launch. I like my TP for what I use it for, tweaked it and its perfectly adequate. Then again I didn't get it expecting it to be an ipad or Galaxy tab. WebOS has potential still and the fact that they embraced their homebrew community from the git go is testament in my eyes. Patience (yeah, these days that's a laugh)

No. The ones who are tired of webos have surveyed the landscape and realize that there is nothing much to delve deeper into. When an os doesn't have a fully functional browser or ereader, no amount of delving is going to change this. Also, some of us who are tired of it bought it to run android, and don't feel like wasting time trying to fix such a broken os. When you have to edit code to get network shares mounted and even then have to pay 8 dollars for an app that will play videos, its not worth my time when my android phone and ipad does it flawlessly and free.

I have HTC EVO 3D GSM VERSION(bought in Bulgaria)
I want to use GARMIN, but it is not supported from Android, so please tell me how i can install Android + Windows Mobile on my phone, so when i want to be able to switch on WIN to use GARMIN, then to get back to Android.
What is the best way this to be done, and the way it will switch faster?
Also please give me links to Windows Mobile and Android version that will work fine on this phone(of course latest versions maybe are better)

I think it has to do with the fact that Android is open source, so you can put it on anything if you try hard enough. Windows Mobile, however, is not open source, making it a lot more difficult.
There are tons of apps by Garmin in the Android market. None of those will work for you?
i want GARMIN MOBILE XT(if i am right)
i want the GARMIN NAVIGATION system, like in the GPS navigators which are sold
i am using iGo now, but i prefer garmin
Well, unfortunately, it looks like you're out of luck, since I doubt you'll see Windows Mobile ported to the 3D.
The best option I can offer you is to just use Google Maps Navigation, if it's available in your country.
it could be done. but it would take a lot of time to get it fully functional. you are talking about basically building everything from scratch, having a dedicated partition for it in your system (or maybe your sd card), modifying your boot loader to give you the option to boot into either one (but you would probably have to create a new bootloader to be honest), making drivers, completely new code. i mean seriously it is building a rom completely from scratch. creating new firmware, software... faurk. brah.
i would rather just go buy a windows phone, but on the other hand, i wouldn't, because i think they are utter garbage.

Well yes, they both both use a linux kernel; but i think it also has something to do with ubuntu being open source. Windows mobile is not open source and it would actually be illegal to port it to our device w/o paying M$ wouldn't it?

Let’s look at what does work first:
Wifi – Same patch as for the TF101.
Keyboard (if you have a dock).
USB Host (if you have a dock).
Partially working:
Graphics Acceleration – Only 2D at this point.
Touchscreen – It works but every few touches are off target by 1/2 the screen.
not working or tested:
Bluetooth.
Trackpad.
Sound.
Sensors (ALS, Gyroscope, Accelerometer, GPS, magnetometer).
Shutdown, Reboot, Suspend.
Ooh this looks fun.
Hopefully in the future if Ubuntu releases the code for their Android-Ubuntu, those drivers can be integrated into builds like this for even more stable releases
I liked the linux tablet concept, thought they would be cheaper. But since HP's failure, I got skeptic.
But with this, would we see a change in pattern :
Buy an Android device, go the custom kernel way, choose to use Ubuntu or Android as you like, switch between OS's as often as you like....
Really excited. Hope someone around me decides to do this (Or decides to let me do it to their tab )

I doubt that. Ubuntu currently does support 3rd Party proprietary drivers, such as that for Nvidia graphics cards, and codecs on its desktop OS. It has never been a 100% free (as in freedom) OS. There always was support for proprietary and people are okay with it.

Me too, currydude! I too re-he-heaallly wish Asus is doing that. BUT, I don't want it such that it becomes Linux/Ubuntu on docking the keyboard as I don't have it and I don't intend to buy it. I already have a laptop, I don't need another mini laptop/netbook. I would, however LOVE it if Asus allows me to boot into Linux/Ubuntu without even docking the keyboard and let me use my Tablet as a Ubuntu Tablet.
Alas, unless Asus supports this and releases a Linux version themselves, we may never see something working 100% efficiently due to all the Tegra 3 drivers that would be missing due to a lack of support from Asus! :/
Asus. DO. THIS. NOW!!!
some of us just need linux support (not ubuntu), and nvflash.

Maybe I'm wrong but try to think about the partitions and the language like:
For the same reason that you can run java apps on Windows, you can run Android on Windows Phone(Please correct me if I'm wrong)
And the partitions in android are spread all over, system, data, cache... On windows it's one partition(Please correct me ), like a HDD
This is what i think, I have no experience with WP
I mean to say running windows phone OS from boot not by using emulator
HTC HD2 is an example for it u can google it.....
Is an interesting question. According to this wikipedia page on snapdragon "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)" Nokia Lumia 700 and 800 both us the same MSM8255 soc as the SK17

Windows is closed-source, so, unlike Android you cant get it freely, install it and mod it. Only feasible way (IMO) would be for someone to crack it and install it on device with the same hardware platform as W7 phone

I had my hands on both WP7 and iPhone... and i cant believe anyone in their right mind would dare to compare them to Android... Android is far superior in oh so many ways... But, unlike iPhone, i think there may yet be hope for WP8 (closed-source but not for close-minded folk like iPhone) (i now expect to be stoned by apple fanboys, since i dared to offend their perfect devices xD)
Speaking of porting WP7 to Android device, i dont think that would be legal, so dont expect to see it on these forums... But another question comes to mind is, why would you even do that ? Even if you're ex-WP7 users, give android a chance, i'm sure you'll like it once you get to know it
To give android chance thats the reason I bought mini pro

Yeah. I've been playing with it. So far, so good. I'm gonna reinstall it when I get a touch screen. It feels like it's more geared towards it.

Pirates are bad! But I don't know which one you're referring too.

I'm just glad most of the run commands are still there.

Runnin the pro with media center. Its ok. Nothin special. It was cool for 10 minutes after i installed it.
You either love it or hate it.
I'm using it now, and at first when the developer preview came out, I absolutely hated it.
The more and more that I use it, I started liking it.
I've been using it since it came out officially, and it's pretty good.
As long as your laptop/computer manufacturer puts out the proper drivers for Windows 8, it's great.
Acer released the trackpad driver for W8 for my laptop and I love the quick shortcuts. (Swipe from left to change Apps, Swipe from top to show quick options, swipe from right to get sidebar.)
It's pretty nice, although, I wish I had a touchscreen.
Sorry for the really long post, but if you have questions about it, I'm willing to answer them. Been using it for a long time..
I tried it, hated it. Microsoft needs to stop trying to shove a touchscreen OS onto my desktop.
It's a great tablet interface but very very terrible for a mouse and keyboard.
If Microsoft would have just added an option to disable metro they would have avoided a lot of the negative press and I would be all over it.

I paid the money for it. It's just Windows 7 with a better task manager and file transfer dialogs. No complaints here.
I still prefer linux. I just have to have a Windows box for work related stuff. I don't understand everyone's complaints about the new start menu. I hardly use it.
I use it at work. Gets annoying at times where some things are hidden a little more than before, otherwise it is smooth and looks very nice even on an old Dell tower.

I switched. Took a lil getting used to, and I'm still running into glitches, but I love the interface.
Having issues with Kaspersky Pure, keeps force closing.
One thing I've been wondering... WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO UPDATE THE STOCK SCREENSAVERS? Lol.

Who uses screensavers anymore? Monitors turn off now and save more power that way.
But you're right. They are looking tired. Flying Windows ftw.
I go from my Pad to my laptop and keep hitting the screen, lol
New touchscreen would be nice.
But I'm tired of buying new expensive software every time a new OS came out. Like MS Office Pro 2010(mainly now only for Word and Outlook) and Quick Books Pro 2010, MS Expressions, Photoshop CS, etc. Almost two large not $15.
I'm not comfortable with backwards compatibility issues. And the potential of any learning curve into a new OS.
I've been using it for a while on ma laptop, since it was available on MSDN. The biggest flood is lack of Start menu. Start8 from startdock was pretty handy. One irritating thing, Iron browser could be set as default browser, at least not in 100%, but maybe that's problem of browser it self. Didn't try with other browsers. I found it more irritating than helpful.
Eventually I've rollback to Windows 7, I had some software comparability issues that couldn't be workaround.

Yep I'm actually thinking of going back... you would think that when they release the newest version they should have most of the kinks ironed out, but that's just not so. I have a lot of programs force closing left & right, and repeatedly do so at completely random times. Also got a couple BSODs the other day. But I really like the new interface so is a tough decision. I use a 120 gig SSD as my boot drive, so running 2 operating systems side by side is out of the question...

Everyone is pissed off about the lack of start menu but in my opinion if you are using W8 on a desktop and you don't have a tochscreen monitor you will not enjoy the W8...just saying
I purchased a Acer tablet W500 on Walmart.com for $350 came with Windows 7 I upgraded to Windows 8 for $14.99 I could not be happier. Windows 8 is amazing. Definitely built for touch screen it's like having an iPad and a full PC all in one for a lot cheaper in price! I recommend installing Windows 8 clean install with a USB flash drive installs in less than 10 minutes
