That's what I had come to understand: full access to all Android and Ubuntu
apps whether docked or not.  Thought it is entirely possible that is not
based on what I wanted to read rather than what I actually read.  Of
course, some amount of root will be required for some features if not a
prerequisite for the whole thing.

Whatever level of functionality is available in round 1, it seems like an
ideal strategy for entering into the tablet and phone market.  It promises
to eliminate most, if not all, of the hardware compatibly effort from the
shoulders of Ubuntu developers since some one else is providing the
kernel.  Provided root access, I don't see how booting Ubuntu native is
necessarily better in any way.  I can see a lot of potential for native
installs to be better in some cases (especially in early iterations), but
those would be implementation failures rather than theoretical limitations.
