Not the specific instance of Canonical releasing a desktop dock for Android device plug-in, but the idea of how this will change computing. If you discount some of the newest quad-core and 8-core systems out there, the latest mobile phones aren&rsquo;t too far behind laptops in their power. Certainly they don&rsquo;t have the graphics horsepower but I don&rsquo;t see that as an issue.</p>
