Wow, this looks like a nice tablet made with the $35 Raspberry Pi. I like the wooden case, and the screen. It is also cool that it has a flexible USB keyboard.
 
I got someone at college who's trying to load unix on it and they are having some problems making it work. But otherwise it's a good thing for tech lovers to mess with.
 
You can load operating systems based on Linux which you can download from the Raspberry Pi website, but UNIX seem less popular on the Raspberry Pi. My best guest is because Linux Operating Systems like Debian are used more often than UNIX.

The Raspberry Pi is pretty good for making a cheap video and music player computer by installing Raspbmc on to it because the Pi cost $35 which is cheaper than an Apple TV, and Roku which can cost $99 or more.
