Year of the Linux tablet is never going to happen
	Technically Android is linux, but it's not really
	There are already linux tablets
		rebranded android tablets with linux booted from an SD card don't count
	Windows 8 tablets
		The hardware for running linux on a tablet doesn't really exist.
			Sure you can get it running, but it certainly isn't going to show up in major retailers
		Win 8 tablet experience taught me that I didn't want what I though I wanted
			Full Windows 8 desktop on a tablet is miserable
			The only way the tablet is usable is in Metro mode
	What's going to be awesome is a touch optimized laptop running touch-optimized Linux
		touch on some of the things from coding horror
