Can anyone clarify what Canonical means when creating a "full Ubuntu desktop OS" on the proposed Ubuntu edge?

My definition of a "full Ubuntu desktop OS" is if a software package can be complied for Ubuntu 13.04 the Ubuntu 13.04 OS on the Ubuntu Edge will attempt to run said software if in desktop mode.

I say attempt as any desktop can fail to run correctly compiled software but they will all attempt to run the software.

Does my definition of a "full Ubuntu desktop OS" match Canonical's definition?

My understanding is that the Edge is designed to work with Ubuntu Touch and Android as a handset, and when connected to a monitor using HDMI then you see the Ubuntu desktop experience, that is, the phone OS becomes the full Ubuntu Desktop OS on the monitor.

I can't speak for Canonical, that however is my understanding.
