On a related note, there's another open tablet from KDE in the works. It's called Vivaldi [1] (formerly Spark) and it looks like the preorders will be shipping soon [2]. The specs are slightly lower, it runs Mer + KDE Plasma, and retail price will be around $200:
It was announced earlier this year and could be interesting to watch. Both KDE and Gnome developers want to move into the tablet arena; it seems that KDE are about to get theirs running on hardware first. Of course, none of this rules out FXCE, LXCE, etc., but it appears that Gnome and KDE have been doing the bulk of the preparation (or maybe they're just receiving most of the publicity), along with X.org. As far as I know, you can't run a Linux console on a tablet, unfortunately, at least without a USB keyboard connected.
