Think of it this way:

You may not care about carrying around a tablet, but if you like the project enough to want to support it then maybe you might make an exception. After all, the hardware will not change any time soon, but future ventures of this type will be greatly impacted by this first step.

That's why though I leave my Nook Color at home most of the time (and slowly hack the kernel clean,) I plan on getting the Cordiatab as early as possible and hauling it with me. Even displacing my N900 if necessary.

And maybe down the line, with more people involved and a higher profile a nice handset could be the target. Who knows. But it starts here.
