Well, almost. It runs in a VM, so give it a spin!
:D
Application:
Firefox, Thunderbird, openoffice.org suite, GIMP Image Editor, Emacs Text Editor (geared towards programming), C and C++ build-essential, Java JDK, Python, TeXlive and TeXmaker LaTeX editor, Transmission BitTorrent Client, eVince PDF Viewer, File Manager, Terminal, Image Viewer, Leafpad Text Editor, Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center with all repositories enabled (Ubuntu Software Center is pretty and well organized - but bloated and slow), SSH server, Gnash (GNU flash player/plugin for Firefox - as there is no official generla flash pluging for armel CPUs)..

Well I have DOS and Windows 3.11 running on my iPhone ... but how useful is it? :p ;)
 
I tried it out, nothing too impressive, massive waste. Slow, double click is a nightmare, slow, unresponsive, slow, reduced graphics and slow.

Oh well.

I think Ubuntu will run well on the quad-core tablets, but anything less won't work.

Saw at work that a colleague's Galaxy Tab starts lagging with a lot of stuff open & Anandtech said that the first dual-core Tegra was not powerful enough to drive the Transformer.

The screens are just too big for a dual-core.
