There´s an opportunity if only to "advance the bleeding edge Linux" and position the Red Hat and Fedora names associated with "bleeding edge stuff" namely, tablets. It doesn´t have to be a commercial product, because if it becomes one it´ll be immediately subject to the press and the pundits labeling it a "failure" or compare it to the established Android OS. This positioning is key. By being just a "pilot" or a "technology reference", it allows RedHat / Fedora to test the waters, advance the platform (Linux on tablets) and at the same time please us, the geeks. The way I dream it, a "Fedora Tablet Edition" would allow downloading it and reflashing the OS on popular tablets (Samsung´s Galaxy Tab, the HP TouchPad, or the RIM´s Playbook), and replace it with "Fedora Tablet Edition". "As is" of course. If one day the project becomes good enough, then surely tablet makers will select it for pre-installation into the devices. Technically, if you think about it, all tablets are ARM based systems with touch screen and wi-fi. I´m not sure there would be huge differences, from the point of view of the underlying hardware drivers needed.
