But being an OS guy, I want a machine running Linux, not iOS or whatever its called. Where is it ? I keep reading stories about dozens of tablet devices running Linux/Android/Meego on Slashdot, but where are they ? [...snip...] I wait, growing more impatient day by day.
I don't know about your specific application (ie: A car PC) but as a linux alternative (or rather, more appropriately, an android alternative) to IPad,
how about the Infibeam Phi: http://www.infibeam.com/Phi
or the Eken M00[1-6] tablets: http://www.ekengroup.com/en/products/index.asp?bid=2
or the Identity Tab http://www.google.com/search?q=Identity+Tab
or any of the other android based tablets: http://www.google.com/search?q=android+tablet
I know people who have bought the Eken M001 and are fairly satisfied with it as a mutimedia/ebook/surfing ...etc device.
cheers,
