This is propaganda and a myth. Sure, you may be able to _install_ apps
from the Ubuntu repository, but whether they'll be usable on the
device (or even run) is another story entirely. There are many reasons
why "porting" is not a trivial process, and a program that works great
on a PC monitor may not be usable at all on a tiny touchscreen, never
mind the fundamental hardware issues.
