Well the Mali-400 is very highly regarded. It's ain the Salaxy SIII, it has
opensource drivers too, but they don't seem complete yet. There are binary ones
though. The Mali-400 is OpenGL ES 1.1 & 2.0, OpenVG 1.1 compliant.

gives me http://www.malideveloper.com/files/DX910-SW-99003-r3p1-01rel0.tgz
("Mali-400 GPU Linux EXA/DRI2 and X11 Display Drivers r3p1-01rel0")
I would be willing to ship the tablet to someone in the US, if that would help.
Otherwise I could probably do the tests. My biggest challenge is going from
android (I'm not an android or ARM person) to another OS.

Well, without such a tablet in our hands we cannot make sure it is possible to
install Plasma Active on it. The first thing to know is if the boot loader is
open (allows to add a new kernel to boot). Then you need to find a suitable
image that at least allows you to run Xorg, maybe one of the images listed in
http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation already works, but we need
to test them first. After that you would need find the correct drivers for the
GPU (OpenGL is kind of required by Plasma Active), wifi, sound, etc. But again:
without the tablet in our hands we cannot do the tests, so you would need to do
them yourself.
