Personally part of me kinda hopes it doesn't catch on, if it does am I  going to have to start worrying about script kiddies, maleware and the like. I kinda like the eco system we have now if it becomes more popular are Connical going to have to start locking down the software centre, bringing in Apple-esque style validation of software? 

Damned if you do, Damned if you don't

I wonder how they've implemented the Web stack. Is it FirefoxOS?

I have trouble understanding the "convergence" proposition. The Ubuntu
UI looks different across their devices. Only thing the same is
perhaps the colour scheme.
Worried all those swiping actions will be a fiddly, compared to say
the IOS experience. Dedicated button. Holding it allows you to delete
or reboot. Double allows you to switch.

They bang on about security, but how is it different to Android? I
they going to pander to "the Industry" and become the next Oracle
monster?

Really interesting to watch nonetheless and I wish them luck. Just
wish the vision was little more focused. :)
