Linux will run on most PC tablet devices, but there aren't many made - in
part because the PC world has long experience of 'tablet' format
computers ('pen computers' etc) and despite lots of hyping and rebanding
and special software 'pen windows' they've always proved to be a turkey
except in a specialist market.

Now it's clear from the tech news that of people are looking at the ipad
and saying "we want some of that" but I'm not aware of any equivalent PC
devices - yet.

Apple are the first people to make it work commercially as a mass marketit
- whether that's because of its fashion victim value (eg its too big to
pocket so you *have* to flash it around) or because the world has changed
enough in terms of wireless and connectivity who knows.

There are waiters and doers. Almost all the great things in the world we
take for granted today were done by people who were annoyed at something
so did something about it.
