Based on the performance shown in the videos I have some serious reservations about an X/KDE tablet with only 512MB.

  I think the fragmentation of X11 video acceleration is partially responsible, as well - it's really hard to write a reasonable driver for every X acceleration technology (which is in good part why Intel keept pushing for MeeGo to use Wayland instead).

    The lead developer of Wayland works for Intel.

      And why do you think he's the lead developer? :) Not out of the goodness of his heart, I should imagine.

    Mer can run on Wayland as well, as soon as there will be drivers for the given GPU.

  The videos are far from indicative of the performance of the device that'll be shipped because it's totally different hardware. The tablet in the video is an x86 Atom based device and the one they'll ship will be an ARM tablet. I really hope that'll be better cause the tablet shown actually has 1GB RAM.

    Additionally, it looks like the ARM Mali-400 GPU in the Spark tablet will get an open source 3D driver soon: https://gitorious.org/lima https://gitorious.org/lima
