This thing is just begging for Ubuntu for Android. http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android



Not exactly the same solution. Ubuntu for Android lets you run Ubuntu on the desktop, and no Android apps I think.

This seems to work more like Asus' Padfone, so when the phone is docked, you get ICS on the larger screen, and get to use all Android apps.


From what I heard, it's possible to run Android apps on Ubuntu for Android:

The fact that they run in a special window suggests that the applications actually run in Android, but that they are composited in/on the Linux desktop.
