+1 for this.

I'd love to see some discussions and gauge the higher-lever "feel" for
where Ubuntu think mobile is going. There is no way something big like
LibreOffice is going to compile/run on a handheld device in the near
future, and the mobile app market is already far too segmented (iOS,
Android, Blackberry, WindowsPhone,....) for anyone to seriously consider
launching yet another platform, so I see the Ubuntu phone as a vote of
confidence in the HTML5 extended API being able to leverage mic input,
vibrate, etc? The Ubuntu OS "app store" strikes me as more of a
GitHub-esque distribution of sources than vetted binary blobs.
