Ok working with any hardware company is a big step. For me the tablet need that cross between a casual tablet like and Android or Ipad. download apps and that almost touch pad OS like Ubuntu with u-touch. IMO that sells. we need to get app companies to port their stuff onto linux.

Is there data on tablet adoption rates that could show which to focus on and which have a common  cpu/gpu etc. 

I think the important focus is that its about "time to market".    Who can get something that is BOTH user friendly and inexpensive etc.

iPad has #1 but apple is a bit of a closed universe in hw & sw choice and because of that the Apple's ipad is very user friendly but it is pricey.     
Their margin can erode with introduction of alternatives that offer similar capabilities/services but at a cheaper price per unit.

I like the Barnes & Noble Nook Color tablet but Samsung's Galaxy & the ASUS tablets are very nice too.
