I have a unified OS across all my devices: Linux. Granted, I don't have a unified UI across all my devices…

I'd love to be able to plug my phone into a keyboard, mouse & monitor and have something like stumpwm available (i.e., something which actually takes advantage of having more than tap, three buttons, volume and power inputs).

If you're using an Android, get yourself an inexpensive USB-OTG cable. They're usually under £1. You can then plug in a keyboard & mouse (and anything else) to your Android phone.

If you have an MHL compatible device, you can also plug in an HDMI cable and use a bigger screen.

Something like http://amzn.to/1SgkguB will do the job. Of course, you might need to VNC into something to get the UI you want!
