It would be a smartphone, 5 or 6 inches. Maybe a bit thicker than normal smartphones. It would feature a keyboard, similar to an N900 but you would additionally be able to slide out analog sticks and buttons to the sides.
I'm reminded of the older zenfones that had x86 processors. None that I know of that had a keyboard. There was also the Xperia Play phone with slideout joysticks but no keyboard.
Would you run an x86 version of Android or some Linux derivative like Ubuntu touch?
Neither. I would run a desktop Linux. Maybe with Plasma Mobile.
Nice! Still have phonecall capability as well too right?
Of course, one device to rule them all!
