As far as anecdotal evidence is admitted, I am a very happy user of a Nokia N900 tablet. So are other folks focused around http://maemo.org. Its lineage goes back to 2005 (N770). This isn't question of entering a new market, it's a logical continuation of a long-time trend.

I just bought another N900 because my current one is a bit long in the tooth, and my fear of being N900-less is huge. Right now, all of my hopes are focused on WebOS and Tizen. The HP Touchpad is really pleasant, and would be awesome running on a GPL'd stack.

I'm really going to miss the Maemo 5 UI, though.
