Andromium combinationof hardware and software that aims to give users the ability to turn their smartphone into a fully functional desktop. This naturally reminds us of Ubuntu for Android.
A few years ago, Canonical released Ubuntu for Android, which was a software solution for Android phones that would help them become a full desktop. But for various reasons, probably more to do with the time, Canonical stopped development of the project. Now, a new team with a slightly different approach is trying to achieve the same result, using hardware and software together.
The end result seems to be exactly the same. Users simply plug their phone into a docking station and instantly have a desktop even on their TV screen.
From what the developers are saying today, it seems they already have the basis for their new system. Andromium, which includes the docking station and operating system, is built and working right now, and the company is trying to sell this functionality to a wider audience through Kickstater to raise money for mass production.
As the Kickstarter, the Andromium connects directly to the docking station and there is a continuous data flow to make the smartphone a full desktop. Also, while it is docked, the mobile phone continues to work so that you don't miss any calls or text messages.
The Andromium project and the OS app were designed by a former Google engineer, Gordon Zheng. Apparently, this project is the reason he left Google and it's quite clear that he put a lot of work and effort into it
