The short lived BlackBerry playbook

It runs QNX and you could get a terminal emulator for it, through which you had a functional unix like environment with a text editor, compiler, python, etc. It's not updated and all the root certs (I think I'm using that correctly, not my area) are expired, so it doesn't connect with anything that needs https. Otherwise I think it could be an awesome terminal tablet (it needs a better keyboard too)

I'd add BlackBerry phones as well. Would exchange my iphone in a jiffy to 9900 or Q10 if it would work with latest apps.
