Canonical puts Ubuntu on Android smartphones

Canonical has revealed Ubuntu for Android, a dual-OS concept that allows a smartphone to be used as a desktop when docked.

Ubuntu for Android features a full version of the open source desktop OS working alongside Google’s mobile OS.

When the phone is being used as a smartphone, it runs Android. When it’s docked into a laptop or a desktop setup, it automatically switches to Ubuntu, without user input or a restart.

With Ubuntu for Android, files and applications are shared between the two OSes. For example, calls and text messages can be sent and received via Ubuntu in desktop mode.

When in docked mode, Ubuntu fully syncs email, displays Wi-Fi and other connectivity just as a phone would - including offering 3G access should you want it - and pulls in Android contacts, music and apps.

Android continues to run in the background, with everything kept synchronised. For example, if you’re typing up an email in Ubuntu, but have to leave, picking up the phone from the dock will bring the message up in Android, allowing you to continue composing.

Microsoft Office for iPad expected in coming weeks

The app’s user interface is similar to the current OneNote app, but it has hints of Metro, the new design language that can be seen in Windows Phone and in the as-yet-released Windows 8 desktop operating system.

Word, Excel and PowerPoint files can be created and edited locally and online. But it’s unclear if Microsoft will support other Office apps at launch or at all.

Sources close to the matter also commented that an Android version of Office is not in the works, and that an updated OneNote iOS app will also be released to reflect the Metro design language.

An exact launch date is unknown, but the design team has since wrapped up the project, meaning it could be released in the coming weeks.

Wheelmen & Co Black Smith Tool Case

Synthetic materials are great for a lot of things, but when it comes to bike accessories leather is better. Unless you’re riding your bike with a paper race number trying to win something, you’re probably going to have your phone, wallet, keys and maybe even a road soda with you whenever you clip on your helmet (safety first) and head out on the asphalt. Having all that stuff in your pants can make riding a real pain in the ass though, so why not throw it in a bike bag with looks as well as function? The Wheelmen & Co Black Smith Tool Bag is just such a bag. It’s a hand stitched, leather roll style bag that easily attaches to handlebars to hold your important belongings while you ride. The locking mechanism is also simple enough that you can operate it while in motion, but there’s no warranty against crashes in that scenario so be careful.

Hot Wheels iNitro Speeders

It doesn’t matter if you’re three, thirteen or thirty, men will never grow out of Hot Wheels cars. Hot Wheels cars will always be fun to play with even if you happen to be too “old” to have a sweet track to race them through. They’re even cooler now because Mattel saw fit to combine them with two other things we happen to love: radio controls and an iPhone app. Not only can you drive it with the standard two-stick setup on your iPhone, you can use the accelerometer (iPhone becomes the steering wheel), send it through a pre-determined circuit, or draw your own circuit. If you don’t have an iPhone, the carrying case/charger also doubles as a controller as well. The only thing you have to worry about is not losing them under the couch/desk because they’re so tiny.

Zagora iPad Sleeve

The Zagora is made with black, heavy duty 18.5 oz basketweave hemp canvas. The hemp is grown and harvested in rural China, where it grows quickly and plentifully. Hemp is grown naturally without pesticides, is easy on the soil, and is nature’s strongest natural fiber (if you don’t count the spider web).

ColcaSac iPad Sleeve Features

—Solid protection from dents and scratches, which allows you to travel about without worrying for your iPad’s safety.

—A Velcro closure that is thinner and quieter than traditional Velcro. Velcro allows you to quickly load and unload your iPad.

—It will fit your iPad perfectly. This is probably more important than you think. A snug fit will make the sleeve + iPad much more comfortable to carry, and also looks much better.

—A functional pocket that keeps your adapter in place. Worried that it will fall out? It won’t.
