With the development of Ubuntu for smartphones and tablets, it’s an exciting thought to think that my TF101 one day can run Ubuntu specifically made for a tablet. Of course, as is the case in the various hardware hacking communities, work towards this has already begun.

If you’re interested in trying out what’s currently out there, check out this XDA-Developers thread:

As of the most recent posts, there is now a working version for the TF101. I haven’t read through the whole thread yet so I would strongly recommend you do so to ensure you’re not missing something important.

As for me, I think I’ll hang on a little longer before I load Ubuntu onto my TF101. I use it too much at the moment for that. I will, however, investigate using it on one of my many phones…

If you try it, I’m curious to know how well it works.

Update: Quite a few additional devices are now supported thanks to the developer community. Here’s the link:
