Sounds like a great place for a wiki, or perhaps even an 
organized index of AskUbuntu links.  Our phone is particularly 
good at wrapping web sites as apps, too...  though for offline 
use it might be nice to have a copy of the content locally.

It would be particularly nice to have a new-user guide which 
explains the basic features and usage of the phone, in much more 
depth than the first-boot edge intro.  Not a comprehensive FAQ or 
anything, just an introduction to core features.

How much depth are you going for in this app?
