Mine is likely to arrive in May according to communication I've had from 
Farnell.

So far there are only images for Arch, Debian and Fedora 14. The 
processor is an ARM architecture which Ubuntu stopped supporting about 
9.04. The result is that getting Ubuntu running on it is not going to be 
a trivial exercise, as none of the existing or planned Ubuntu software 
is guaranteed to run on it without at least re-compilation for the 
correct version of the ARM architecture. For all the Ubuntu software 
which came from Debian, it is quite likely that the Debian original will 
work.

For now, I'm satisfying myself with running Raspberry Pi distributions 
in a virtual machine.
