The motorola Atrix had demos of this concept. There was no ubuntu- it just was moto's skinning of android & a $200 docking station for your phone/keyboard/monitor.

It wasn't particularly successful.

Re:Why Twilio Will Kill AT&T on Thursday January 05, 2012 @04:04PM (#3430512)
This is kind of embarrassingly wrong.

Twilio has a great team and a great product.

Trying to compare Twilio to AT&T can only hurt Twilio. Let's applaud them for what they are- the best example of a telco api out there.

If you think AT&T is just a bigger version of a messaging/telephony api, you need to do more homework. Really.

W/r/t the innovation comments, again- naive. http://www.att.com/Common/merger/files/pdf/IMS_Convergence_F...

I'm sure the other carriers are out there doing similar things.

Twilio's api solves a pretty interesting set of problems, but the 180 billion dollar market cap for AT&T is not based on the problems Twilio is working on.
