I just read on golem.de that Shuttleworth wants an Ubuntu smartphone [1].
Unfortunately that's all the information the article contains, so up to now it's a vague rumour at best.

I've been thinking for a long time that Canonical is the only realistic player on the market that might be able to produce the next true (read: non-android) Linux smartphone.
As a Debian user I am biased against Ubuntu as a Desktop operating system but compared to Maemo Ubuntu would be a huge step forward if it's actually able to run a smartphone completely (including phone functionality and a suitable UI).
So if someone has more information than I currently have please let me know (e.g. does somebody know the keynote mentioned in the article?)!
