Hi All, I really believe that Ubuntu could do something better than the folks at both Mac and Microsoft.
The new internet based economy is turning out to be very different to the Web1 economy. In the Intention or Community based economy, the emphasis is turning away from being sold products, such as an iPad. To the customer actually engaging in the development process. For example instead loads of different health centres holding medical records. The customer keeps the records (on a pad) and keeps control over them. Basically the open-source community is extending into the business community. One of the main visionaries is the editor of Linux Magazine : Doc Searls. With the idea of customer centric economy being studied at : http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/vrm/ So the Ubuntu Tablet could actually be a very useful tool, extending our vast experience in community based development.
