We have to talk about it ! https://prodocktive.com/
I just had a demonstration of this and it looks amazing ! Obviously it will be limited because it is iOS, however it does look great and I just hope this will dynamise the competition to escalate on Android. What do you guys think? The approach is different than InfiniteX2P

Samsung is currently preparing Galaxy Books running on Android with One UI 9! This means that it will most likely run on Aluminium OS.

Some time ago, I made a post explaining why the switch from ChromeOS to Android wasn't a bad thing at all. It surprised quite a few people, but I put forward a very controversial argument: the arrival of traditional smartphone manufacturers in the "Chromebook" market.

I explained that brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, and Oppo would finally be able to manufacture Android PCs with their own custom software overlays (One UI for Samsung, HyperOS for Xiaomi, etc.). For me, this is a major advantage, as it will diversify the market and attract new manufacturers beyond traditional PC players like Lenovo and Asus. My intuition was correct.

Looking at Google's recent history, the pattern is always exactly the same when it comes to deploying a major evolution of the Android platform.

Whether it was Android 12L to revive the tablet market, Wear OS 3 to revive the smartwatch market, and recently Android XR for mixed reality, they worked closely with Samsung to develop all of this. The recent native desktop mode of Android 16 followed the same path.

With Google's conferences fast approaching, it's highly likely they'll officially unveil Aluminium OS. A showcase device will also probably be revealed, and Samsung will most likely have the exclusive right to unveil the very first PC featuring this new platform.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the final result.
