So i'm thinking of getting the Asus Transformer Infinity TF700 and I was wondering if it could run ubuntu.

Also I have heard that there are not many good apps for tablet android OS, if I did get ubuntu would it have more apps? What other benefits does ubuntu have over android?

Long story short: if you can live without rotation; or not knowing if you will have sound, video codification or Suspend/resume capabilities; or some other minor glitches go ahead, otherwise, look for another table.

Following the table State of Things (updated till 2013-05-03) this is the actual status of the tablet:

Graphics          Perfect
Boot process      Working          -- No boot animation
Rotation          Bloked/Broken    -- General issue: not supported in Ubuntu Touch yet.
Wireless network  Work in Progress -- OK, but can't enter password with on-screen keyboard
Sound             Unknown          -- No details
Touch             Perfect
Camera            Working          -- Not working zoom & face camera
Video Decode      Unknown          -- No details

Dock touchpad     Unknown          -- No cursor in the shell
