ThereÂs an opportunity if only to "advance the bleeding edge Linux" and position the Red Hat and Fedora names associated with "bleeding edge stuff" namely, tablets. It doesnÂt have to be a commercial product, because if it becomes one itÂll be immediately subject to the press and the pundits labeling it a "failure" or compare it to the established Android OS. This positioning is key. By being just a "pilot" or a "technology reference", it allows RedHat / Fedora to test the waters, advance the platform (Linux on tablets) and at the same time please us, the geeks. The way I dream it, a "Fedora Tablet Edition" would allow downloading it and reflashing the OS on popular tablets (SamsungÂs Galaxy Tab, the HP TouchPad, or the RIMÂs Playbook), and replace it with "Fedora Tablet Edition". "As is" of course. If one day the project becomes good enough, then surely tablet makers will select it for pre-installation into the devices. Technically, if you think about it, all tablets are ARM based systems with touch screen and wi-fi. IÂm not sure there would be huge differences, from the point of view of the underlying hardware drivers needed.
