The meego netbook user interface was designed for netbooks, and was pretty cool IMO (I had it running on a hp mini). Just search for "meego netbook" or check wikipedia article about it.

sorry for my stupid consideration but why is so wanted from you? You have mini pc, you can have tablet, 2 in 1, why would i need a smartphone to use it as a pc? (with its little battery). you would need also a keyboard, a monitor, so what?
Joke aside, it would be nice to have a device in the 6-7" form factor that I could use for on-the-go productivity. Currently nothing on the market can do it ― almost none of the devices have a hardware keyboard, none of them can run a development environment or a compiler, etc.

I want it. I like the idea of working at my desktop, then disconnecting a pocketable mobile device from it and continuing my work as I go.
This solutions gives you exact same result as what you are asking, or what continuum is claiming to promise, or what Ubuntu is promising.
True, with Apple's solution you need to use the internet to replicate all data on all the devices and the cloud is used as backup. And I bet MS's (and Google's, whatever they come with) solution would be even more dependent on the cloud. Not sure about Ubuntu though.

The concept of a mobile device that works differently than your desktop, that you "sync" to your desktop when you leave and return, was created (and perfected!) with the PDAs back in the 90's. All we've really got today with the smartphone world are PDAs that are also good media players...

unfortunately linux is not supported at my work
(apart from Android) but the idea is nice.

Give people a subscriber ID and only take feature requests from people who are paying. That way you bypass the whole "fix it yourself" debate. Pay and get things fixed for you, or don't pay and make a code contribution, either is fine... just don't choose not to pay and still complain!
Jolla could target the Nexus line and let Google worry about hardware etc. The kind of people who buy Nexus devices are going to be the kind of people willing to try something different, too.
I don't know why, but once companies start down the road of listening to ad agencies, they seem to end up with loads of "features" that harm users but benefit the agencies. The whole idea of targeted ads is the opposite of the privacy respecting OS we all bought into. Hardly surprising therr's some "hostility" here!
