I'd love a tablet I could do real work on. The Surface comes closest with the fold-out keyboard, but it's a bit expensive. I live at the command line when I do dev, so installing something like Ubuntu would be ideal.
I'm not convinced this is a niche need, either. Manufacturers are just slow to catch up.

There's also Ubuntu for Android[1], but I haven't tried it. [1] http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/ubuntu-for-android http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/ubuntu-for-android
