Re: OpenBSD for mobile
There is a Samsung Tab tablet based on OMAP architecture. Now they have some model based on Intel. But I think there is more work there to be able to run OpenBSD on them. And there is no documentation, maybe Samsung will release it for OMAP model, since it is old now.

I ha dsome hopes related to the Vivaldi tablet (http://makeplaylive.com/index.html#/open-hardware/vivaldi), even if it will be based on Linux, it should be "open hardware". The problem is that in the last year no product has been released Luca
OpenBSD for mobile
I thought about a recent device type (tablet/mobile) mixing with openbsd for some time. My final thought was: openbsd will need some further dev work in this direction, but this is what devs do. Problems -> small Recent device type hardware has to be built and documented with some direction towards openess (bootloader,firmware,driver,etc). Problems -> huge Some work can be done on the openbsd side,but without a big change by the manufactors (they wont) there is no hope. Here and there small companies come up with an open hardware approach ( openmoko) but the plattforms commonly do not survive.

This is the reason why you'll find OpenBSD for open hardware such as Beagle/Panda but not for Raspberry Pie. In general, drivers are difficult to write and maintain unless the hardware is properly documented. Hardly any smartphone hardware us adequately documented or unencumbered by non-disclosure requirements.
