I'd have no problems buying an Apple Tablet.. if it'll support open source.

If it's anything like the iPhone and all the decent software is pay-per-use... no thanks. No matter how "spiffy" he dresses it up it's just Mac OS X in disguise. Mac OS X isn't completely horrid per se.. since it's unix based an all.. but it's so custom and proprietary it makes Mandrake look like a blessing from the heavens. And the FINK project is the best way to get any open source to work right with it.
