I'm aware they're working on it, but last I looked there's nothing usable yet.

There is for the former, not sure about the latter.

I, too, am anxiously awaiting an Ubuntu that I can run on a mobile device, especially an x86 tablet, so that I can have a tablet to take on client visits and be able to use it for code editing and debugging if needed.

I'll take talking to my phone as a first step. Getting simple file transfers to my SIII has been a pain, not to mention anything more sophisticated...

Get AirDroid for your Android device. You'll never look back.

Thanks for that!

SSHDroid is pretty neat if you use Linux on the desktop.
