The ZaReason folks are keen to get other distros working on their tablet, but I'm still really hanging out for a proper netbook (apparently in the works at their OEM) as I really like having a proper keyboard.
So do I. There have been interesting efforts to make touch screens accessible to people who can't see them, and while I recognize the value of this work in making mass market products accessible, I would rather spend my money on hardware that won't slow me down. I hope that real keyboards don't become museum items. Much Linux software is keyboard intensive, as is the act of writing (whether it be text or code). Devices need to continue to be available that can effectively support work that goes beyond point-and-select or typing short messages into an on-screen keyboard.
