Here is pretty good demonstration from Canonical of Ubuntu on a Tablethttp://blog.canonical.com/?p=446. Personally I think this looks really good. What are your thoughts. I still like the MeeGo Touch UI better though, but this is pretty nice to. What are your thoughts.

While I think MeeGo would be more user friendly, however this feels a lot less dumned down than Meego. That is my personal opinion.

Again no one responding, I don't know why this is a lot more interesting than an Android tablet.

I think that makes the diff between these android and ios tablets, no dumbing down(Meego is dumbed down also, but not as much) I like how linux and win7 tablets still have a full os behind them.

Well on paper putting a desktop os on a tablet sounds like a good idea but it isn't, because a desktop os isn't designed for the limitations of tablets. In my opinion putting full desktop os on a tablet is as stupid as putting a gnome based Linux distro on a phone or putting Android on a netbook, In my opinion it is best to put MeeGo on a tablet, because it was designed with the capabilities and limitations of tablets in mind. In my opinion you wouldn't just throw regular Ubuntu on a Netbook, you would put the netbook remix on there. I think Ubuntu is better off creating a Ubuntu tablet remix. Just my thoughts.

lol, you waited 1 hour on a Sunday night (at least in my location) which is the middle of the night in Europe (a large portion of this site) and you expect people to jump on a topic? chill out.

Personally I think it is interesting, but tablets do not have the power to run these without killing the battery. meego is built with a battery in mind at least to some extent, and that does make a difference.

Sorry it is 8:58pm over here, sorry I'm from the US, California to be exact so I don't have a sense for European time. So sorry about that.

For tablet , I will choose Meego , but for a netbook , Ubuntu is my flavour.

I agree with that, I'm currently posting this from an HP Mini 210 with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04.

Well...

I had the idea of MeeGo before it was announced. I thought how about getting Ubuntu so optimized for the N270 that it can literally run rings around Windows XP/7 in everyday use, in hi-performance (eg 3D games) and in battery management. I also thought that it needed a new UI that was appropriate for finger-navigation.

Along came Moblin and Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and they were close to what I pondered but not quite there. This is no different.

I'm hoping that with MeeGo, everything will be a clean-sheet and that it would be as optimized as lets say iOS on the iPad, and that it would bring new things to the table (a new platform where developers can make 1 application that would be supported decent enough on a range of different devices).
