Default nVidia Tegra 2... and MeeGo?

It seems that there will be heaps of Tegra-based tablets (or smartbooks) in a while. Many of them running Android. I've read something about Ubuntu running in Tegra 2, so why not MeeGo? Does anyone know anything?

[(I'm personally interested in Toshiba AC100 -- quite powerful ARM in a light netbook with nice battery life... but Android sucks IMHO. On the other hand, I don't think I'd be able to try to port MeeGo by myself.)]

Tegra 2 is ARMv7 and supports GLESv2. If you get a linux kernel going and Xorg, GLESv2 working, you pretty much have ability to run handset UX

So Meego is running on your AC100?!
Which image you used?
Is OpenGL accelerated?

Or you say that WiFi is not working on Android?

Is there any chance, that Nokia will produce Tegra based handset in the future? Tegra looks like a very promising generic hardware platform. Why should it be limited to Android only?

CompuLab announced a 5.1 x 3.7 x 0.6-inch computer built around the dual-core, 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, designed as an open platform for ARM software development, among other uses. Claimed to run on only three Watts, the "Trim-Slice" features 1GB RAM, dual SDHC slots, a SATA SSD, dual-head HDMI/DVI, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, plus gigabit Ethernet, USB, and serial connectivity.

Billed as CompuLab’s smallest and most energy-efficient computer to date, the Trim-Slice is available for both OEM and retail markets. The mini-PC can be used as a media player, IPTV box, infotainment system, signage computer, gaming device, or even a desktop replacement, says the company. The Trim-Slice is also touted as an open platform for ARM software developers.

Looks like Nvidia does put at least some resources behind Meego on Tegra:

Holy crap. I think I am going to buy that .. if the price is right. I wonder though ... will Intel come out with something like this using medfield? The Video In part is Key. It would *need* a tv tuner to get my attention.
