Nope, we don't...
I'm still very pro n900, but as amazing as easy debiian is, the fact is it's only barely acceptable, speedwise...
What i do hope though, is that the ubuntu side of things is not restricted to only working whilst docked..

Duh.. N900 is an ancient device. And Ubuntu is targetting Android, not Maemo. Nowhere did they say this will work on older Android devices. Even if N900 was running Android, it would simply be amond the non-supported ones. To quote:
If you feel you need this, Androids are getting quite cheap these days.
I don't need this 'feature', so I'll stick with my beloved N900. I'm booting Debian Wheezy on it. I don't see the need for anything else.
While mid-range phones can deliver a perfect Android experience, it takes high-end horsepower to drive a phone and a desktop at the same time. Newer multi-core processors are up to the job, and Ubuntu is the killer app for that hot hardware. It’s the must-have feature for late-2012 high-end Android phones.
I don't need this 'feature', so I'll stick with my beloved N900. I'm booting Debian Wheezy on it. I don't see the need for anything else.

I'm wondering how much of the Android resource hunger will be present, or whether that could be done away with, or at least some sort of minimal configuration to give ubuntu as much as possible...

Its just a protocol that integrates Ubuntu and Android.
As far as the video goes, Ubuntu is not running on the phone or Android...but the features from the phone are supported within Ubuntu.
If you want native Linux, besides N900, N950, N9 (cringe), Spark-tablet...you can try native Ubuntu on the tablet:
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...n-hp-touchpad/
BTW it is native port, not a castrated chroot hack

This is not an Ubuntu app running atop Android, nor it is an Ubuntu device running an Android emulator. Rather, Ubuntu for Android is a full Ubuntu desktop running side-by-side with Android on the same phone.
Ubuntu for Android provides a full desktop experience, including office software, web browsing, email and media applications, on Android phones docked to a screen and keyboard.

Well, I think it could be great if it can actually be used WITHOUT the docking, which I think would basically be something like easyDebian (EasyUbuntu) on Android... AND I don't like GNOME nor Unity, so I would like to see Plasma Active or something like that as a kind of optional setting...
This Ubuntu on a Galaxy Note... Interesting... Will this actually come true someday?

Taken from http://webmink.com/2012/06/20/help-t...medium=twitter:
Want to get hands-on with Ubuntu for Android? I heard recently from Richard Collins at Canonical that he would like some help with user testing Ubuntu for Android. He tells me they are looking for some folk in or around London who would be willing to visit them in Southwark and help them with end-user testing.
They are looking for business people comfortable with technology, rather than for developers. Previous exposure to Ubuntu would be useful but is not essential. It will take a few hours in central London and they will provide a pleasing thank-you gift. Contact him
<richard.collins@canonical.com> if you’d like to volunteer.
