Ubuntu comes to Android Ubuntu has come to Android phones! Before you go, ‘Does that mean I can boot Ubuntu on my Android phone? Or, does that mean I can get dual booting on my Android phone?’ let's clear out a few things. Canonical has announced Ubuntu for Android and the full scale deployment will be displayed at the Mobile World Congress. Here’s what you’ll get to see. If your Android has Ubuntu installed, you can boot the Ubuntu operating system onto your monitor every time you connect the smartphone using a dock. On its own, the OS is neatly hidden under the hood, so when you’re using your phone, you’ll have your regular Android stuff loading up. It’s somewhat similar to what Motorola has tried in the recent past, with their Webtop accessories, but this is on a more universal level. Also, whenever your phone is connected, it’s not a stripped down version of Ubuntu that you’ll get to see, but, it will be the exact same thing that you see on a desktop running Ubuntu, with no compromises, whatsoever. Browsers like Chrome, Firefox and their Unity UI, everything will be available on your desktop. What’s interesting to note is that your core details, including SMS, voice calls and contacts will be shared between the two, so there’ll be some good amount of consistency. If you’re having a desktop PC running Windows, Ubuntu will also be able to boot into a virtual environment, which may be of great help to a lot of companies. They’ve also managed support for connectivity options, including, USB, HDMI, Google Docs and 4G LTE, so you can have seamless interaction between your phone and your desktop. So, what’s the limitation? Of course, the most obvious one will be the minimum spec requirements – Ubuntu will, at a minimum require a multi core smartphone. Dual cores are already existent and quad cores are coming soon, so if you’re buying one of the top-end smartphones in the near future, there’s a lot you can look forward to.

Wow ! This is great news. Considering that most phones are getting phenomenal processing power these days, this was inevitable. It seems much better than the Motorol Atrix WebTop implementation of ubuntu. Have recently been running Ubuntu on Nexus S, but it requires a lot of hacks. This would be much better / hassle free and quite useful when you don't have your laptop handy.

No it doesnt support CDMA+ CDMA By this CDMA GSM/CDMA they mean to say that In above tray you can put GSM or CDMA But in Second tray you can put only CDMA. First Tray is Master Second is Slave So if you want CDMA only they put CDMA in first tray. If you want C+G then put GSM in fisrt and CDMA in secdond. But no CDMA CDMA at all

I have this set in hands - it definitely has 2 slots but its says CDMA // CDMA / GSM so does it means it has support for 2 cdma - i have to test that but i have only one UIM card looking for another one - and get back
