Will operating systems become user interface agnostic?
After reading a post in PCPro.co.uk, about the dual core ARM phone that can run both Android and Ubuntu at the same time, i can’t help being excited about the possibilities that the near future holds for us, mobile-wise.
I’m pretty sure that – at some point in time – we will not need laptops or desktop computers anymore; we can just go around with our tablets and/or phones and – when we need more screen space to work – just plug it into an external setup (screen, mouse, keyboard) and hack away.
Which brings me to think that the next versions of mobile operating systems will become more and more full fledged operating systems as we traditionally think of them on the desktop. Sure, right now they are being tailored to suit touch screen interfaces (tablets, phones), but i think we might get to a point where they will have to become user interface agnostic, to allow this type of hybrid behavior.
