I would assume that UBtouch was chosen as a default OS so that that bugs can be worked out now, leaving a 'simple' and 'just works' OS for non power users once pinetab is out of dev status. Invariably I see new linux users start with some kind of 'it just works' ubuntu variants, while power users can easily flash their OS of choice regardless of what a device ships with. Given my time in customer support and IT, anything you can do to make a device usable out of the box (in the future iteration) will remove thousands of repeat "how do I do XYZ" from the kind of individuals that will start opening support tickets without even trying to read the FAQs/manual first.
