I think a big part of the Linux story on tablets is the stylus (or lack there of) support. The Windows tablet edition really leaned a lot on a custom stylus layer for apps that ran on it. While the base hardware is typically supported in Linux, having a tablet that was designed to be used with a stylus, without good linux support, makes for a bad overall experience. Depending on what you want out of a device the Chrome OS ones should be coming out this fall. I'm not sure if there will be tablet models or not. I think Apple surprised everyone with deciding that a table is a fixed function device, and not a real computer with the iPad, so I'm not sure if that means Linux tablets that come to the fore will be Ubuntu / Chrome kind or go the Apple route and be Android kind. -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org There is no silver bullet.
