I program for pleasure (which is disturbing as I do it for a living).

Well, they aren't very well established. I got mine as it was really cheap and someone mentioned it on some mac group. I have a couple of tabletPCs, and a few PDAs but for walking around the tablets are too big and the PDAs are a bit limited.
The problem is though that the internet tablet is still an idea that has yet to really take off.

It is also a complete pain to set the environment up, compared to other platforms.
