Cool! Thanks for linking the Nexus 5 seems to be a decent development device, many ported operating systems target it first.
I thought development on this had stalled about a year ago, I remember Steve trying it out on a tablet. Glad it's still moving forward, there's quite a lot of cross-over here with Jolla's Sailfish OS since both are built on Qt. Development of one should help the other, since it'll bring more mobile-focused developments to Qt.
I'd love to eventually have some true convergence of desktop and mobile, e.g. you can plug your phone into a dock with monitor and have it become a "real" computer running full versions of Libreoffice etc.

It is build to be potentially running many Qt/GTK/X11-based applications, for example:
Plasma apps, Ubuntu Touch (.click) apps, Gnome apps (e.g.GnomeChess), X11 (e.g.xmame) and possibly other Qt-based apps like Sailfish OS or Nemo. Packages can be installed by “apt-get install packagename”.
Will this be ever available as a operating system that I can install on phone replacing Android completely?
After recent news about stagefright exploit on Android I wish I could have on my phone Ubuntu based operating system with rolling release model of updates.

Lots of links here: http://wire.kubuntu.org/?p=365
The discussion about how it is built and what it is based on is way over my head.
