Depending on where you live and your definition of mainstream, a MeeGo tablet device has been out since fall 2010. That is, in Germany and the Netherlands, the Wetab has been available through the Mediamarkt consumer electronics chain, which is pretty mainstream. Last fall, the hardware was better than the software, these days it's a bit the other way around. Still, it's MeeGo, it's hackable, it's usable. And Intel's tablet ux for MeeGo is shaping up nicely. One daughter of mine hated it, but the other thought it was pretty nifty already. The third wasn't interested in tablets at all...

At 11.6 inches, 2.21 pounds, and a 2 to 6 hour battery life, I don't think the WeTab is really a comparable device to something like the Xoom or Nook Color.
