Its not available (yet). But looking at the GUI and a few notes, I wouldn't be surprised to see it popup sometime this year.

From what I could tell, it's not available for the ARMEL processors yet, but maybe soon. It sure looks cool though.

Man, their examples of the email and rss interfaces are really nice. I would much prefer that layout.

The Ubuntu Mobile FAQ (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/FAQ) states:


Can I run it on a Nokia N770/N800?

As stated above, our current focus in in x86 processors. Despite should be no big problem port it to run on ARM, the Nokia devices have proprietary parts that we can't have access so the port will be, at the best, incomplete. My take on that is, at least for now, if you have a Nokia N770 or N800, stick with Nokia's software.

Looks a lot like Canola :-)

What is very interesting, at least to me, is that the current current platform target includes the Elektrobit MIMD

There is more info on the Data Sheet

Maybe CEBIT next week will produce information

Even though we don't have access to the source code of the proprietary parts - would it be possible to incorporate the binaries of these parts into a NIT version of Ubuntu Mobile?

Or just use the window manager from Ubuntu Mobile?

What about just taking applications from Ubuntu Mobile and porting these to the tablets? The browser, Java, Flash, ...
