Tablets are a toy and a ridiculous fad. Which is why the iPad is the only tablet that successfully sells -- it's a beautiful toy gadget with a toy OS running on toy hardware with a business model that was based on the practices of the game console industry.

Let me tell you... I bought a BUNCH of tablets for work...

They're clearly not doing me any good. ;)

Here are some things:

Not sure if they're running proper MeeGo, but I suppose (FOSS) beggars can't be choosers

Beggars can choose to buy from reputable manufacturers. I've never heard of either of these folks.

Funny sh it right there.

Gerbick, since when did you get a XOOM?
I know the Atrix is actually one of the best devices out there, but a XOOM?!? Why not the $99 Touchpad, Cheap GalaxyTab, Multitalented Transformer, Pristine PlayBook, or iPad2 (if you want the fart apps).

I think the first device Nokia should've released MeeGo on should've been a 7" tablet like the PlayBook but only for developers. Then it would be easy to restructure the development into 4" devices, and larger 10" devices.

I never said anything about them being reputable or not. But those are open source (kinda) tablets, and that's (kinda) what this thread is about. But for those out there that require a FOSS tablet, dem pickins is slim
