Don't know about you guys but the screen is way too small for a desktop OS like Ubuntu.

I am running Ubuntu on my laptop now... although it is not the smoothest and most functional OS... For the price of free it has resurrected many of my Windows running laptops (of course, not nagging on the software, laptops died due to hardware issues) and I am very happy with its existence.

This would be an interesting alternative to a Surface tablet, even though I'd give the edge to the Surface and Surface Pro.

Hmmm didn't i talk about UBUNTU on a TABLET the other day on some thread ?
UBUNTU will be great and it would be what WINDOWS 8 Pro surface would be. I think even Ubuntu doesn't have ba start button/menu. yet another nightmare for Apple ... :)

Cool but i don't see the utility on a tablet. Especially a 7" tab. Android takes me wherever i want to go. I don't see the benefit. Besides android developers outnumber ubuntus like 100 to 1. Maybe ubuntu can edge w8 out but i think android is a better mobile os with better applications and development. So far anyway. I guess we'll see.

Ubuntu on nexus 7 combined with wine app will easy be able to run windows 7 apps as far as I know.

If Ubuntu for Android materialised,it would be definitely change the computing in developing countries like India,where 4G is going to be released soon..
