I thought of doing that many times. But decided it would be better to just wait for Haswell. We're not far from an era where we have CPUs that are both powerful and mobile. Just wa…

Good point. Android is ahead of Web apis, and Google have been adding android apis to the Web for a while (example intents). They just need to keep doing that until there's 1:1 fea…

How could we compare then?

It's an i5 processor, 2 cores at 1.8ghz. New generation arm processors, for example the tegra 4, is quad core at 1.9ghz. Wouldn't it be both more powerful and have more battery lif…

We have been through this many times before here. This is meant to prevent forks that break compatibility. Like that chinese company that made their "own" phone OS. That was just a…

Posting just to bookmark it.

In his defense, he did say "near" :)

The official hangout about the announcement is still going on btw: https://plus.google.com/u/0/115750270177636397262/posts/HBof... One latest thing they just said, is that "ubuntu …

They had a working prototype that would run Android and Ubuntu side by side. Would work as a standard Android phone. But when you dock it to the desktop, it's a 100% capable Ubuntu…

Here's their developer site: http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/gomobile/ From what it looks like, I'd need to redesign my apps from ground up using QML. They could have lever…
