This looks quite interesting.

Canonical has officially unveiled the world’s FIRST Ubuntu tablet, the Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition.

 

Made by Spanish OEM Bq, the 10-inch tablet runs the same core Ubuntu operating system as the Ubuntu Phone but the user experience dynamically adapts based on input and screen size.

 

This means it’s able to work both as a tablet and provide a full Ubuntu desktop experience — the first such device to do so.

 

Canonical say the M10 is ‘the first in a series of converged devices’, suggesting that more hardware will be announced in the coming months.

 

The M10 Ubuntu tablet will go on sale globally in March. Price is to be announced but expect to pay somewhere around the ~€250 mark.

Although I am a strong Linux Fan, and have used Ubu for 6 years.. I don't think there will be enough of a market.

I was hoping that this is what MS were doing with Windows 10. I can't see any technical reason for there to be a difference between the Phone/tablet OS and the desktop one, it just seems to be a business decision to force more people to the store and perhaps stop morons complaining that they have a Windows 10 phone but it doesn't run Witcher III.
