<i>Bug in iPad: 1,000,000 million hits on Google with 1,000 solutions</i><p>I call myth. That's only true when you happen to hit a bug that apple was generous enough to fix.

If the tablet is running linux then most bugs will likely be in software components that are also used on other hardware with a much larger userbase. And most OSS projects, at least those surrounding the kernel, have quite active communities, with mailing lists and open bug trackers.<p>Don't get me wrong, I agree that there are reasons to go for the iPad over other tablets - but this is not one of them.
