[Ubuntu Touch General] jscurtu:
Couldn't resist.. Updated your list a little :) ..

[Q] Can I get this on my phone or tablet etc.?

[A] Don't ask this here, wait until it is actually released and wait for a developer to pick it up.

[Q] Is Ubuntu Phone opensource?

[A] Yes, and the source will be released by the time the Nexus images arrive, you will find them on Launchpad just like any other Ubuntu project.

[Q] What's the point of having another Linux distro?

[A] If you ask, you wont understand.. ubuntu phone is not android and android is not linux. its that simple..

[Q] Is steam supported?

[A] unknown, for sure not yet.. but on http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/operators-and-oems read "The developer’s favourite OS" there is a hint.

[Q] Will this support ext3/ext4 file systems?

[A] Ubuntu Phone uses Linux so it will most likely support ext3/4 file-systems.

[Q] what's the lock screen like and will it have one?

[A] No confirmed lock screen, but they have confirmed a welcome screen.. IMHO, this may be a smart move from Canonical due to Apple and Google's current patents on lock screens.

[Q] Can we install on any device like Ubuntu PC?

[A] Smartphones are embedded non standardized systems, you always have to port it to work on your device.

[Q] Will they update every six months like the PC?

[A] they will update it, but not sure if it is going to be every six months.

[Q] Will It support android apps?

[A] Unless someone will port the Dalvik Virtual Machine (which android is written on) to Ubuntu Phone that can run android apps than no, its not that easy.

[Q] Will their be Google native apps such as gmail, maps, Google voice, gtalk, calendar, contacts, etc?

[A] Ubuntu Phone can run Webapps, you will be able to use GMail, Calendar, Maps like you would in a webbrowser, not nice but its up to google to natively support Ubuntu Phone . GTalk can be used with the Ubuntu messaging app, as it uses the open XMPP protocol like jabber. If there is a native email app, then you will be able to use GMail natively with IMAP.

[Q] Does Ubuntu Phone have WhatsApp?

[A] No, see here.. Go ahead and start spamming the developers for Ubuntu Phone Support.

[Q] Can it run Ubuntu PC apps?

[A] Only if docked to Dektop-Mode, but developers could easily make an QML interface to almost any existing software available.

[Q] Is Desktop-Mode supported on the Nexus image?

[A] Its the developer device, so yes.

[Q] What's the UI (user interface) like?

[A] this video will show you

[Q] Does Ubuntu handle multiple cores well?

[A] Yes, it's Linux .. But its up to the knowledge of developer's to handle multiple cores (threading) in 3rd party Apps.

[Q] Will there be ways to over clock & UV?

[A] Yes, again its Linux..

[Q] Any plans for android emulator?

[A] What, why emulate? Its based on the same platform (Linux).. But if you mean Dalvik that is something else..

[Q] Tethering?

[A] on the Kernel side probably yes, on the UI side unknown.

[Q] App store?

[A] Not by the time of the released Nexus image in Feb. (yet), but I heard it is in the Works...

[Q] Does it use the Debian package system (.deb) ?

[A] Yes. and that is awesome..

[Q] Dose Ubuntu Phone have Navigation?

[A] No. and that sucks.. so don't cry if you get lost :) ..
