How should pinephone integrate with Desktop?
#1
Right now, if you have an Android device and a Chromebook there is some pretty slick integration between the two. Really things like your text messages will sync onto the Chromebook if you let it, and you can pair up tabs (assuming you use chrome on Android). Supposedly something similar happens between iPhone and Macbooks, but I will never own those devices to find out.

This kind of integration is cool and convenient to a lot of people. I know Firefox will let you sync tabs in theory, but is there a way to sync things like text messages or notifications?

Do you think the Pinephone should be able to pair up with a Linux desktop in the same way? I like the idea personally, but the Pinephone seems to be changing the paradigm with convergence. Why sync up to a desktop/laptop when it can *become* the desktop when plugged into a dock?
