Thoughts on Ubuntu Mobile Edition

I was wondering what everyone thought about Ubuntu Mobile Edition -->

Introduction: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile

It seems like it would make for a good front end if we could get it to work. It may take some command line configuring, but maybe some Linux experts (and everyone) can chime in on this and offer their thoughts on the possibility of using Ubuntu Mobile Edition as our front end.

I like the idea of it. would it boot up almost immediately like a lot of the new luxury car interfaces?

I doubt it'll boot instantly because it'll need to go through the post and load the OS. But as for the UMPC's (which is Ubuntu Mobile's target) I have no idea how long the boot will be.

Everything on that product page of Ubuntu Mobile fits perfectly for carPC's especially GPS/
