This looks quite interesting, i wonder how it would run on a nexus 7?

Yes - here.
It's a sort of test platform - nothing about Ubuntu is ready for mobile yet, but working with Nexus 7 is a way to start to address that. It's not usable.
Yes its too new and buggy, but Im liking the idea.
Not old just pointless!
Phones/Tablets already have a pretty good Linux OS.
Unless Ubuntu will bring a killer feature...

Eh. Yes and no. Ubuntu would not make as much sense as Android on something like the Nexus 7, but a 10" or 11" touch device with a keyboard, like MS Surface, might be able to squeeze just a little more out of Ubuntu than Android. I mean, I'm thinking of things that are meant to replace, rather than supplement, a notebook, like Surface is and Nexus 7 isn't. On the inside, an ARM tablet is an ARM tablet, so work on the 7" can translate over into 10" devices.
Yes 10/12 inch would be better, but I do own a 7" Android and find the screen size usable. But I have learned that Android is just not what I want. I like the ubuntu desktop experience, not a pretender
I saw a video about this yesterday.
it looks promising.
the main advantage over andriod is that you can apt-get install whatever you want [like all the backtrack tools....]
I think i might get one just to have a play about with it!!!
please check out my blog I have a linux tips section
i think it would probably be best on the new 10" tablet, i wonder if you could dual boot between android and ubuntu on a tablet?
