It was at the beginning of the year that Ubuntu announced Ubuntu for Android, their idea of an all-purpose OS that can be a phone, computer, and anything in-between. Since CES, there hasn’t been much news about it, or any phones that plan to use it. That’s where the NexPhone comes in, and is the first device announced to use it.
The NexPhone is a normal Android smartphone, only it will be able to connect with a tablet, laptop, and monitor docks. Like previous Motorola phones, it will physically attach to the docks and then power them itself. The Ubuntu for Android part comes in when connecting the Laptop or PC dock, launching for full desktop use.
At the moment it’s just a concept though – the developers are trying to raise money via the crowdfunding website indiegogo. If you’re interested in the idea, you can contribute to the project, which as a goal of $950,000 (£590,000). There is no release data for the NexPhone just yet.
