The only people who can realistically target tablets are the ones with
commercial backing and a business plan.  It is not a market where a
volunteer community can easily thrive in.  It requires custom built
kernels,  patching all over the stack etc and since Red Hat is not
interested,  it is unlikely to happen IMO.
