I'm curious (truly curious, not meant to question or attack in any way): what do you guys foresee using this (or any linux based tablet without a keyboard) for?
I'm trying to imagine how I'd want to use one myself, and I can't come up with much as it's not an all-in-one package I can carry around nor is it built for productivity. If I needed productivity, I think I'd rather stick with a more traditional, better supported laptop solution where I'd also get more bang for my buck (at least currently).
I think of tablets as a device for information consumption, and in those terms, I don't really have a preference for a particular OS as long as the apps I need and widgets I'd like are supported. However, with a capacitive touch device, I'd prefer apps designed for touch interfaces quickly working their way towards more stability and functionality rather than very stable, full featured apps that aren't getting very much love (if any) towards reworking the usability aspects. I can imagine feeling the opposite way for a device that that had a keyboard, mouse, and/or a more accurate touch screen solution, but that's not the case with this tablet.
