"The tablet-orientated version of Ubuntu is based on Ubuntu Touch – the same version used on Ubuntu Phones – so is gesture-heavy in use.
Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 owners will be able to download and ‘flash’ Ubuntu Touch onto their devices this coming Thursday.
But despite last-minute speculation no hardware partners intending to pre-install the device have been announced."
-From OMG! Ubuntu

We should port this....

The requirements need at least 1g of ram. We have 512mb and it just not powerful enough.
Right, in fact I think the official numbers state 2GB of RAM as being the minimum.
The KF has a Dual-core A9 cpu, where a A15 is required.
And the KF only supports 2-finger multi-touch (I doubt this is a deal-breaker).

Min Requirements:
• Dual-core Cortex A15 CPU
• 2GB memory preferred
• 8GB flash storage minimum
• 7"-10" screen size
• 4-fingers multi-touch
All that said, it should be possible to get it running. I mean, I've seen Ubuntu Desktop running on the KF to some degree - so I'm betting someone will get ithis to boot eventually.

I actually don't think the kindle fire will be getting the Tablet version, it looks like the Tablet version is only for 10in tablets. We would be getting a a larger phone (phablet) like the nexus 7 got
Nexus 7 will be getting side stage, its still under development.

In the development section, Hash code has a build up and kits surprising good. I didn't think it would be so smooth. I'm defiantly going to use it more once its out of Alpha and Canonical gets more features into it
