netbook vs tablet

I am debating getting a netbook to replace my ee701 as a sometime 
machine or a tablet.  There are a number of options but basically it 
comes down to what this second device is for.

What is the progress of Fedora on 'cheap' tablets, as I would like this 
effort to come in under $100?  I did see one interesting page on Fedora 
on a tablet:

I can't find a price for this, though I could probably get one of my 
colleagues from Heuwei or China Mobile to bring one to the next IEEE 
meeting.  Are there affordable atom based tablets?  Seems not. Sigh.

So the other approach is to just get an Android Tablet referbed and use 
it for its limited use, to get familiar with tablets already.

But it sure would be interesting to have a working, cheap, Fedora tablet!
