Well, you can always use a headset and Hangouts or something. :)

When it's ready (or more than likely, before it's "ready" given that
this is indeed Ubuntu we're talking about and things like this happen
more publicly), I would presume. If/when any snap based images for
devices are available, I'm sure they'll also get announced.

There's been a lot of work to get Unity 8 and all the related
components that make up what's on the phone/tablet, working on PCs, and
in a snap environment, but there's still a lot of work left to do for
proper confinement to work. I don't personally have a list of all the
various bits left to do, but I do know it's quite a lot, including a
need for some new features in snapd itself, before a snap based system
could be on par with current device images.
