Ok working with any hardware company is a big step. For me the tablet need that cross between a casual tablet like and Android or Ipad. download apps and that almost touch pad OS like Ubuntu with u-touch. IMO that sells. we need to get app companies to port their stuff onto linux.

Subject: Re: [Ubuntu-tablet] Ubuntu tablet
Is there data on tablet adoption rates that could show which to focus on and which have a common cpu/gpu etc.
I think the important focus is that its about "time to market". Who can get something that is BOTH user friendly and inexpensive etc.
iPad has #1 but apple is a bit of a closed universe in hw & sw choice and because of that the Apple's ipad is very user friendly but it is pricey. Their margin can erode with introduction of alternatives that offer similar capabilities/services but at a cheaper price per unit.
I like the Barnes & Noble Nook Color tablet but Samsung's Galaxy & the ASUS tablets are very nice too.

What in particular makes the new Prime less than ideal? It's got a

load of power, which is also nice for Ubuntu, and to my knowledge the
only thing software-wise is that Ubuntu works on Tegra 2 now. It
wasn't always the case, and Tegra 3 is becoming more and more
ubiquitous. If we went for a strictly software support perspective,
something based on OMAP 4 would be much better. Plus, from a quality
standpoint, the Prime beats the original pretty well, and it still
offers the keyboard dock.

Or, maybe both tablets would be good? A sort of entry-level and premium?

(Don't read too much into this. I'm sure a lot of it is simply because
I bought a Prime a few weeks ago, and would love to see Ubuntu running
on it. :-) )
