Ubuntu is still difficult to use with pure touchscreen. So the lenovo S10-3t is still the best choice for me, with android x86 for touch friendly surfing and ubuntu for the real work. A bit heavy though and battery not-so-awesome, especially as ICSx86 can't yet sleep on that device (or couldn't, havent checked recently)
And a price that beats both those tabs

look if you dont have the sense that for this price tag in 2012. a 7$ arm soc is not enough and that for a 350+$(more like 500$ for the rest of the world outside US) gnu/linux device x86 is the best choice at this time than i dont see a point of discussing this
sane people use the same device for a couple of years, this thing is for someone that will buy anything and will change it after a few months because no one will give a **** about this device 2 months after its release...

Just found out it has a 9" IPS screen. The price isn't that bad actually considering the Viewpad 10e which has similar specs (but runs gingerbread and no Ubuntu) goes for $400.

How many people here have actually used Ubuntu or Windows 7 on a tablet?
I have (I have an HP Touchsmart 1025dx), and let me tell you something. Both of them suck, but Gnome shell is somewhat useful.
Never have been able to get the multi-touch to work under Linux, and under Windows nothing but their few stupid apps use it. And who really wants that monstrosity of Windows 8 on anything...
The ZaTab looks cool for one reason, and one reason only. It uses Cyanogenmod 9 by default. This WILL be updated constantly (there are even nightly builds for it! The fact that it has an open boot loader and is rooted by default doesn't hurt either.
Eventually Gnome-Shell will be very much like Maemo / MeeGo and will work fantastically on a tablet. And since the majority of software for Linux is open source, it usually just takes a recompile to work with ARM.
By the way, even Wine is working on an ARM version (for those Windows Mobile programs) and you can emulate x86 via qemu, though it's currently pretty slow.
