Finally some news on Ubuntu Android

Saw the video. Very interesting...

I would really like to sideload (is that the right word?) Ubuntu on my Note 2, to test it out. I am sure it will be possible soon.

I thought Ubuntu would have a closer relationship to Android, as opposed to being a clear competitor in the OS space.

I would love for there to be integration between the OS's...imagine booting into Ubuntu on your otherwise Android device, but having access to the same apps and data!

I could comprehend a difficulty with having access to the same apps already on the Android side of the phone, but at the very least, the same photos, music, videos and documents already on your Android side of the phone should be made available. I say 'side of the phone' instead of 'partition', because I would've like there to be tighter integration. Maybe there could be a porting tool to retool your current apps on the Android partition to be fit for Ubuntu.

I don't know much about programming, so I am probably talking crap.

RE the video, I think they should've gotten better industry commentary, that was a but weak at times.

Otherwise, I thought it was a really good presentation.
