Ubuntu on cell phones/tablets

[rafaellaguna at ubuntu.com]

You're talking about the Ubuntu for Android, it's a different project 
(almost abandoned) using a phone base connected via HDMI cable to a 
screen and using its ROM as a Desktop distro. That's not going to 
happen.

But Ubuntu Touch will is already able to run some Software Center apps 
made for desktop, so the convergence has begun. Right now, Ubuntu Touch 
can run on Phones, Tablets, Phablets and other touch-driven devices.

Unity8 is the next desktop that will unify everything. So in some way, 
that old project Ubuntu for Anrdoid is being a reality with Ubuntu 
Touch. But we have to wait a little for that. If you have your Ubuntu 
phone, just keep updated with the OTAs and you'll receive more and more 
features, including these ones.
