However, that won't be the case for some LG smartphone owners. Box.com is giving away 50GB of storage to owners of an Android smartphone made by LG. The offer is valid for users in the U.S. with a handset running Android 2.1 or later on a device with HVGA screen (320 by 480 pixels) or higher.
If eligible, all that one has to do is to register before December 31, 2012 in case they aren't a Box user already.

Ubuntu on Android is a concept Ubuntu is trying to sell to Android phone makers, enterprise-level customers, and peripheral manufacturers. You can see Ubuntu's pitch and explanation of features and specifications on their site. The idea is that a full, slightly modified installation of the Ubuntu desktop is stashed on the storage of a multi-core Android phone. Whenever that phone is set in a dock and connected to a monitor, that Ubuntu installation comes to life and runs. The Android phone becomes just a very small computer, and the owner gets the full desktop experience of keyboard, mouse, and big screen.
The snappiness and space depend on each phone, of course, but with most major new Android smartphones arriving with at least dual cores and at least 32 GB of space available to users, Ubuntu is a feasible option. Watch the demonstration video, and you'll see that browsers open fairly quickly, and app switching is fairly fast. This has something to do with the solid-state nature of Android storage, and the lightweight nature of Ubnutu. There are definitely delays, especially when switching from Android to Ubuntu and back again from dock plugging, but it's early-stage software that can hopefully be optimized.
With over 20 million users, Ubuntu is the world's favourite free operating system and Ubuntu for Android is the first complete solution for office productivity on a phone. It lets Android and Ubuntu share the same Linux kernel, so they can run at the same time Android for the phone experience and Ubuntu when docked. Which means one address book, one set of bookmarks, one place for text messages and one inbox for mail. And thanks to careful integration between the Ubuntu desktop and Android, user's have access to the phone's functions when it's docked including making and receiving calls.

This isn't Ubuntu for Android, or a hacked together demo made by an enthusiast, this is Real Official version of Ubuntu running on a Google Nexus 7 tablet and being shown off by an official Canonical engineer.
Canonical founder, Mark Shuttlesworth, has said that beginning with Ubuntu 13.04, which is due in April 2013, the team will be focusing on "mobile metrics" like battery life and memory consumption, which will lead to the OS being able to run on a much wider range of Android & mobile devices.
The Unity UI is already a solid step towards being touchscreen friendly, so now it is just a matter of optimizing the OS for touchscreen devices. The start of that work looks to be right around the corner as Shuttlesworth told developers attending the Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) in Copenhagen Denmark next week to bring their Nexus 7s, because Google's tablet is apparently a great "reference" device for the project.
