That would be awesome! Until it happens though, and it's clear these drivers work in Ubuntu, then any tegra based tablets for development should be out. Also, for what it's worth, I think Ubuntu needs to be preinstalled on tablet hardware in it's own right. Most people simply aren't willing, or interested in voiding their warranty, let alone installing, (hacking really) a new system on their tablets.
