There was speculation on the 18th of February 2013 about HTC releasing a tablet that runs the Ubuntu OS. Information about this can be found in the following sites:

The Ubuntu site on the same day offered a countdown that would end on February 19th 2013. The countdown when finished showed the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h384z7Ph0gU

Apart from the information provided above, you can also read the following link for more information regarding Tablets: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/tablet

One thing we can see from the information here is the hardware requirements for Tablets:

Regarding the installation of Ubuntu (Or any other Distro for that matter), please see my answer here: How can I install Ubuntu on an iPad?

I also recommend reading this question: What is Ubuntu Touch (Ubuntu for Phones)

UPDATE Feb 21 2013 - The Ubuntu Phone, Tablet Developer Preview has been released

  • What does it mean "full desktop convergence"?

    @leonardvertighel that it will do the following: Offer a look that when connected to a TV will still look the same and that this same look (Resolution, Size or Distance between all objects shown if you will) will look the same when connected to a monitor. Look at the video I provided and go to the time 2:42 in the video. That is desktop convergence right there.
