   Let's hope so. The tablet market is still pretty open and iOS or Android or 
whoever haven't established a firm lock on the market -- yet. I've resisted 
buying a tablet because I think the two options not are too corporate 
controlled and are not fully free.

   Having an open alternative based on fully free software would be great. 
There's still time to keep this market open and influence its evolution. 
Whether it's Ubuntu that breaks up the evolving duopoly or someone else is 
irrelevant, as long as we can avoid that fate.
