Key features include:

Two types of Ubuntu image 'large' and 'lightweight'

Both have:

Ability to install a full operating system on your phone

LXDE Desktop (very lightweight)

Working update manager

Working software centre

Ability to access files on your SD card and internal memory from Ubuntu

Ability to set screen size on boot (you no longer have to download a certain image for different screen sizes!)

Large is includes:

1.5GB download, which is 3.5GB once extracted

Ability to boot into either Gnome or LXDE desktops

Lots of apps perfect for 'developing' including:

Firefox, Thunderbird, openoffice.org suite, GIMP Image Editor, Emacs Text Editor (geared towards programming), C and C++ build-essential, Java JDK, Python, TeXlive and TeXmaker LaTeX editor, Transmission BitTorrent Client, eVince PDF Viewer, File Manager, Terminal, Image Viewer, Leafpad Text Editor, Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center with all repositories enabled (Ubuntu Software Center is pretty and well organized - but bloated and slow), SSH server, Gnash

Lightweight image includes:

500MB download, which is 2.5GB once extracted

Includes only apps required for everything to work, leaving lots of space for your own programs but having a smaller image
