One of Ubuntu's great strengths is being able to flash it onto a huge

in mind, but it would be good to be able to do similar with Touch. It's
that there's an issue with proprietary drivers - can that not be somehow
overcome?

No, it can't. There's no standard for bootloaders, hardware discovery, memory partitioning, or anything else in ARM. It's a huge problem. :(

On the bright side, when Ubuntu Personal comes along (powered by snappy), x86-based tablets might be a lot more interesting then. :)
