What is Ubuntu For Android

Ubuntu Android  is a way to get Ubuntu on your smartphone. First let’s clear up a common confusion that many users have: Ubuntu does not replace Android, it’s not like now your phone will work with Ubuntu instead of Android. If not now rather than two can coexist on your phone.

The idea is simple, when you connect your Smartphone to a monitor you will enjoy your classic Ubuntu plus the integration with Android and the mobile phone itself.
According to the words of the Mark Shuttleworth (founder of Canonical): “ Ubuntu for Android turns your phone on your desk modern productive when you need it “
Examples of what you can do with Ubuntu for Android :

• Read and write sms using the keyboard comfort
• Notifications for calls and messages in Unity
• Access to the cellular wireless networks
• Integration of social networking on Ubuntu and Android
• Sync Calendar
• Manage cell files (photos, videos, etc.) from Ubuntu
• Ubuntu TV included
• The one thing you could do that already with Ubuntu and its applications

The applications that account for Android Ubuntu are the same as you know, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Thunderbird, Chrome, VLC, music player, picture viewer, etc.
And if you connect the phone to a TV monitor instead of an interface that will appear will be the TV Ubuntu.
