Dual-core Smartphone Runs Android and Ubuntu

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the two-is-better-than-one dept.

nk497 writes "ARM is showing off a test handset at Mobile World Congress, which runs Android 2.3 and Ubuntu 10.04 at the same time on a Texas Instruments OMAP 4 chip. ARM envisages a time when the only computer you'll ever need is your smartphone and with Nvidia announcing it will be putting quad-core mobile processors into tablets by autumn and smartphones by Christmas, that prospect looks to be approaching faster than anyone expected." Video is attached if you're curious.

    Motorola Atrix 4G.

    It runs Android 2.2 and Ubuntu at the same time and you can buy it (for a crazy high price) soon.
