As a lefthander who has the galaxy nexus with Ubuntu Touch on it, I
can tell you the only thing I have any issues with is the swipe from
right to left to change between apps, the launcher is not a problem at
all.

The only issue with the swipe from right to left is the thumb needs to
change angle twice to complete the swipe this is much easier in the
right hand than the left. But not impossible just slightly more clunky.

You make it, I'll break it!
