could be somewhat successful only if they allow for it to dual boot with android

I believe that they already have something better in mind: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android

This may be the ticket, I cannot wait for my upgrade to roll around in a few months, so many new choices coming up

The only thing Android has going for it is that it's not iOS; Ubuntu would be a vast improvement (assuming it's properly implemented).

Awesome! My goodness, now I need to get a new phone. I hope it will be priced nicely, iOS and Android aren't really doing it for me. Hope Ubuntu Phone OS will be.

For those that actually want to see an hand on, of Ubuntu Phone OS, running on a Nexus:

Mostly just GUI presentation.

im noticing that droid is crashing more and more. I cna't take a picture or video without the service crashing. Nothing is rooted either. Their code base is messy. I use Debian for EVERYTHING and since Ubuntu is based on debian, I may jump on this. It's probably more stable then Android. Though I do worry on how Conical is going to make sure it stays stable, because even Google can't see to keep that end up, even with their unlimited budget.

Stop the talk and bring some products to market. Where's Ubuntu TV? Where's Ubuntu for Android? If Canonical spent more on products and less on marketing vaporware this might interest me more.

I think it's a little to late for Canonical (Ubuntu), Jolla (Sailfish), and Samsung (Bada) to go against Android, I think all three of them should just put in fully with Android and be done with it, don't compete against it!
