Android and Ubuntu for 2012?

This is exciting news for you freaks and geeks when you heard Ubuntu will be integrated with Android phones. For common folks, who’s still trying to figure out what an Android is, Ubuntu is an operating system (yes, just like Windows) that will be included in a mobile phone, making a portable CPU. "What say what is what" you ask?

Basically the main idea of Ubuntu for Android is for your phone to become a computer just by switching from Android to a full desktop Ubuntu mode. Of course you will need a docking station, keyboard, mouse and a larger display. Ubuntu for Android provides a full desktop experience, including office software, web browsing, email and media applications.

Here are some of the features of what Ubuntu for Android has to offer: 

Secure full-featured web

Enjoy a full desktop browser for multi-tab, multi-window web productivity. Ubuntu supports both Chromium and Firefox, the world's fastest browsers, and is naturally resistant to web malware, which is why enterprises and governments are adopting Ubuntu on desktops.

Unified contacts

Both Ubuntu and Android access the same mobile address book. So even when the phone is docked, you can view, edit, call, text or email a contact. You can even check their profiles on Facebook or Twitter.

Calendar coordination

As with your contacts, your Android calendar data is shared with Ubuntu. This enables synchronization with any desktop or web-based calendar application, like Google Calendar.

Messaging and calls

Read and reply to incoming SMS messages from the desktop, using Ubuntu's message indicator. You can also make and receive calls via the desktop - and you'll be alerted to voicemails so you can manage them while you work.

Social networking services

All your Android social network account credentials are synchronized seamlessly, using the Ubuntu social networking client to provide easy access to your online communities.

Photos

Manage and view photos stored on your smartphone using the Ubuntu Gallery application. Then edit them on the Ubuntu desktop and save them back to the phone. Create, edit and consume, all on one device.

Canonical, the commercial entity behind Ubuntu, is meeting up with several mobile manufacturers and will try to sway them to include Ubuntu in their handsets for release this year. So cross your fingers guys and hope we will see this new line of Android smartphone/mobile-desktop soon.
