If you read the reviews or look on Youtube the Archos G9 has major quality problems- digitiser issues, case flex, etc. It's not a quality item. armel/armhf are compiler architectures, not connected to the hardware architecture which is Cortex A9. If the RAM is 512MB then I can definitely predict problems with running more than a couple of tabs in a browser. So at the moment, nothing suitable seems to be on the market. The only other candidate would be the HP Touchpad but that's a dead duck, after the geniuses at HP reduced their $1.5bn to zero within a year. If Canonical are talking to hardware makers about a preloaded tablet (which they should, because Unity would be a nice interface to use) then they are not saying who, what or when. They seem more focused on Ubuntu-TV, but even that may never see the light of day. I don't know how commercially focused they are, which is a shame after all the money Mark Shuttleworth has poured into the project- he deserves something back. Having initially hated Unity, I use it on my laptop and AC100- it is developing fast and is becoming nice to use.
Anyone want to start a company making an Ubuntu tablet? I am only half joking here, since nobody else seems to be able to.
