That is what I liked about the example.  A Kiosk type device.
One idea is to write software that runs in Linux on that device.
The tablet will be totally closed in terms of the user being
able to access the OS.  No hands in the system, no support calls.
It would become more of a specific device instead of a PC running
Linux with some of our software.
