I don't know how familiar you all are with Motorola line of devices but they have had Ubuntu running on their phones since the Atrix (Feb 2011)for those interested.

if you're got an
Motorola Atrix 4g/photon then you're running Ubuntu 9.04 in an hd dock/lapdock
Motorola Atrix 2/bionic/droid razr I believe is running Ubuntu 10.10

if you have a rooted device then you can do two things to it to get those Ubuntu partitions more full function Webtop2sd (makes the SD card on your phone the /osh (or root) partition for webtop (Ubuntu)) and gives your lxterminal and then webtopscripts (version 1.6 now?) will enable apt-get to work.

webtop2sd 2.0.1:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119557
webtopscripts 1.6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192488

I really wished that Motorola would have made webtop more full function as a product. It has so much potential.

they've released the source code for some of the software in webtop here:
