End users of Ubuntu are generally more knowledgable about Linux than the average (intended) end user of the tablets. Just that alone changes a lot of things. I'm not against having fully open betas though - it would be ideal.... but Nokia wouldn't go for that for firmware images. Individual apps, sure.
