But is ubuntu running over a vm?
How does this affect the battery life of the touchpad?

You split the touchpad's memory, and create a seperate disk for Ubuntu. Then, after installation, the whole Ubuntu will run just like any webOS program. You can maximize it, our you can keep it running in the background while you do something else. You close it by swiping the card off screen.
Unless you do some heavy lifting in the background, I don't see how having Ubuntu would affect battery life. The HP's battery life is good, but not stellar. Of course, I watch a lot of flash-based video online. But I get through the day easily, keeping WiFi running and mostly reading the newspaper on it in the morning and browsing, e-mails, whatever in the evenings.
