Ubuntu aims to bring free software to handheld devices by creating a unified operating system ("one ring to rule them all") that can be used across PCs, mobiles, tablets and TVs. The document outlines previous efforts like Android and Maemo/Meego, and proposes using Ubuntu Core as the basis, along with hardware drivers and OEM packages, powered by the Unity 8 interface with multi-tasking and docking capabilities.
