They say:
That would be cool but being Ubuntu you would not be root
Unlike other open-source smartphone platforms (Android, Sailfish, Tizen), Ubuntu Mobile is a full PC operating system. Ubuntu for smartphones is the same as Ubuntu desktop – only with a mobile-friendly interface.
If you have a high-end Ubuntu smartphone, you can connect a display, keyboard, and mouse, and use it as a full-fledged Ubuntu PC. For all of Microsoft's talk of desktop and mobile converging, Ubuntu is the first platform to make that leap.
so no way to get puppy on it in dual boot?

In the coming weeks, Galaxy Nexus owners will be able to download a compatible build of Ubuntu. You can also expect the development community to embrace Ubuntu, creating flashable ROMs for many rooted Android phones. Canonical is hoping for OEM hardware in early 2014.
Canonical will show us more at CES 2013
