The specifications look reasonable.  It'd probably be able to run 
things other than Ubuntu as well, depending on how many evil binary-only 
modules are necessary for the hardware bits.

Are there any applications out there for x86 that are usable on a 
device with just a touchscreen?  Lots of X11 programs seem to assume 
that precision mousing is available, and capacitive touchscreens fail at 
that.  It'd probably need a keyboard, at least.  Entering text on 
android devices with any of the keyboard widgets I've tried is like 
trying to paint while wearing oven mitts.  But bluetooth and a bluetooth 
gamepad could mean a nice portable fceu/snes9x/psemu setup, perfect for 
long plane trips.
