1. Awesome!

2. _W_H_E_N_? It's been 5 months since this video was posted, so "soon" isn't much of an answer anymore.

3. Will this run on my Google Nexus 7?

Canonical is releasing both their Own mobile OS called Ubuntu Touch and an Android app called Ubuntu for Android.

The app itself seems better but a bit harder to implement, because you would be getting the benefit of both Ubuntu and Android.

Ubuntu for Android is NOT available yet. With that said I wonder if Ubuntu for android will be just an app running on Android OR actual OS that people will need to flash like custom rom. Because if it's just an app, well I am not impressed really because they said it's like actual OS and not just an APP. But if it's ACTUAL Ubuntu OS that will be replacing Android on that phone , now that is REALLY cool. I really hope it's flash able ROM but then they'll need million versions for diff. units.

I've been searching everywhere for this and everything I find is Ubuntu Phone or running the desktop version on the phone screen. I have yet to find the download to the actual Ubuntu for Android like this in the video. Where do I go to get this? I really want this on my Galaxy Note II.

Well where is it and how do we get it? The designated website doesn't list any download links, in fact it's been unchanged for a year.

no. motorola phones with webtop support only

[murat dogusan]

some of you might think this phone has ubuntu phone os but it is not. it is just android 2.3 with ubuntu theme. and there is ubuntu 12.04 lts rom installed instead of webtop and any of you can do that now. its not soon it is already possible.
