I will get one, just to have one. Just like I wanted to get that $100 laptop a decade (or more?) ago but I never got the chance. I see it more as supporting an endeavour that may benefit more people down the road, than any thought I got on my mind.

For anyone who wants a a decent tablet (Android 5 though) on 10", I suggest the Amazon Fire HD (7th gen is fine), you can get a used for for £30-£50, then "hack it" to remove the Amazon crap/bloatware (plenty of sites with instructions out there) and use that. I have set up multiple friends like that. They buy it, meet for a coffee, I de-crap it for them in 20mins and they end up with a nice 10" android tablet to read and watch Netflix.
