An interesting page from an organisation evaluating the current crop of SoC CPUs from a Free Software perspective: http://rhombus-tech.net/evaluated_cpus/ http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/
They identified the 'Allwinner A10' as the best candidate (for their purposes), due to the company management's willingness to release GPL source code. There are a _lot_ of 'Allwinner devices on the market (and in the pipeline) which are widely distributed, so it appears to be a good development platform for Ubuntu tablets, especially as there is the prospect of an open driver for hardware-accelerated graphics.
