The Toshiba Folio 100 is also reported to be getting the chip in the near future and the Notion Ink Adam tablet too will come packed with the NVIDIA chip when it starts shipping.

The major features that are responsible for this heightening interest in the Tegra 2 platform are its strong graphics performance and support for Adobe Flash. Plus, the makers have also introduced discounts to further push sales of the platform.
