MatthewPaulThomas, Canonical Design
Ubuntu contains System Settings on PC (gnome-control-center), based on my original design from 2008. It will soon include some form of system settings interface on phone and tablet.
In line with the goal of a convergence device — not to mention, ordinary learnability and efficiency — these settings, and their categories, will be shared across form factors whenever practical. However, some settings will only ever make sense on one or two form factors.

Settings categories
At the moment, this is an incomplete index of Ubuntu designs for System Settings — some of them implemented, some not. It includes other things, such as version information, that for want of a better position, are presented inside the System Settings UI in at least one form factor.
