As this seems a reasonable place to pose the question: I've seen (eg. at meetups) people using bluetooth keyboards with tablets turned around on stands as sort of mini-laptops with shell access.
Has anyone here done this with a comfortable hardware configuration for nontrivial developments tasks? I guess what I really want are tablets that run proper (vs. Android) Linux, can perhaps handle occasionally running paravirt at not entirely painful speeds, and (I believe this is the killer standing in the way) have hardware with open source or reliable enough binary blob drivers that are therefore safe to frequently deploy very recent kernels to without losing wifi, sound, camera, GPS, GSM/CDMA, backlight control, etc.
