I'm also looking at the asus TF series as they have real keyboards as well to see what's required to support them, with luck being manufactured by the same company as the Nexus 7 and the same underlying SoC we might be able to get a whole group of devices in a single swing :-)
I ordered a Nexus 7 too.
I also played with the Asus Transformer, which if it didn't have Android could just about be a usable mini-laptop (palmtop?). I think it would make an excellent Fedora laptop.
And I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the external keyboard which is also a potential mini-laptop. Apart from the larger screen it is quite similar internally to the published specs of the Nexus 7 (dual core Tegra2 vs quad core Tegra3). Ubuntu is available for it, but I haven't tried it yet.
Rich.
