To me, this is totally unexpected! I did not know that Ubuntu will come up with its own mobile version outside of the existing Linux mobile consortiums.
Ubuntu Mobile, a fully open source project, gives full Internet, with no compromise. Custom options may include licensed codecs and popular third-party applications.
- Full Web 2.0/AJAX fidelity, with custom options of Adobe Flash®, Java, and more
- Outstanding media playback so you can enjoy videos, music and photos with SUPERIOR quality and easy navigation
- A suite of applications that work seamlessly to meet every need of a digital parent, student or anyone who is on-the-go
- Facebook®, MySpace®, YouTube®, Dailymotion®, 3D games, GPS, maps, in short, the full Web 2.0 experience delivered into your hands as a compact and powerful device that's easy and fun to use
So far, Ubuntu Mobile supports the following devices: Samsung's Q1 Ultra, Fujitsu U1010, Kohjinsha SH6, HTC Shift, Amtek U560 and Elektrobit MIMD. However, I have yet to see one in the wild.
So what do you think? Will this be enough to combat the existing Linux-based platforms? How about pitting it against Google's Android?

How will an end user get this on their device? Will device makers have to include it at the factory or can someone flash this on their own device? Lots of questions unanswered here.
