I'd hope that they give the tablet backers the choice to keep the tablet or get a total refund. By the time it ships the specs on the tablet are going to be a year old and you can buy intel BayTrail tablets using that hardware, maybe not the HD screen, for $50 these days.

He said they will have to decide about tablets.
And I do not know what could be easier/less troublesome for them.
But I am afraid they will go for the refund path.
Those tablets seem to not have been produced yet, except a 1k wave.

HW is old, probably not anymore available at all.
New HW designing / testing would need manpower / money.
HW support/warranty would be expensive.
And and and ...

But all is just foggy, so let's wait for official statement. Maybe tomorrow.
