Wasn't the original idea behind Ubuntu OS to be able to plug your phone in and use it as a mini-desktop? Did that ever get anywhere?

I guess I would just expect the phone to be tied into Ubuntu's services (do they still have that cloud thing?) and so wouldn't be as good an experience if using other distros -- though I imagine some effort would be put into Windows and Mac. I am happy with sub-standard functionality if it fit my ethos and I was potentially able to work to improve the system, like early Android -- it felt a lot easier to get an app out there that people would use, now it seems almost impossible with so many big players in.
