So basically these are two different things: ubuntu for Android and ubuntu phone OS.
Ubuntu for Android is more like a live CD for locked devices. And if so would it be possible run as an application like the rest when we are talking ubuntu for Android(home button back to android)
Ubuntu phone os is only for unlocked(or manufacturer approved) devices.
Do you also look at it this way?

Well they said this can be run on any Android device. The OS can use the same kernel as Android. To my knowledge Jolla/Meego/Maemo/Moblix can't do that. This is far more useful than other linux oses because it takes advantage of what is already there. Drivers won't be an issue the way they are with other oses. It is still true linux so native linux applications can be run on it. Even if manufacturers won't adopt this it is possible for it to become popular with the modding and flashing crowd.

Heh, when has hardware requirements ever stopped the N900?
If we hobbled along using Unity on the N900, we'll hobble along well into the next decade, with more swapping!
All that remains to be seen, is whether the Ubuntu Phone stack is open or not.

AFAIK since Linux 3.3, merging of Android code to the main line was re-established. That means, Android's kernel should be the same as the standard one.
So, it's not Canonical's work - they are just using the latest kernel and enjoying the advantages. Naturally Jolla and others can do the same thing.
For example: right now I'm running Linux 3.6 on my laptop, so 3.3 isn't that bleeding edge...

It's going to be interesting times ahead in mobile, with Jolla, Ubuntu and to lesser extent also BB10... perhaps even Firefox OS will give something interesting, though I have my doubts about that (seems Tizen-y).
The delicious problem becomes which platform to choose! It's been quite a while in mobile arena when there's been such a nice selection for open source enthusiast / walled-garden-hater to choose from.
