This is not quite true. The options are very limited and in some cases
you cannot use all the hardware (often the 3D acceleration) but there are
a few such devices which are as free as a PC
Can you tell me more? I will ask people to check them out; I will be
glad if there are things people could manage to use in freedom
somehow, even if we can't endorse them because some functionality
doesn't work.
Some of the Atom N450/5 type PC tablet devices also support free 3D
graphics, although battery life is generally very poor on this generation
of hardware compared with the recent stuff.
Could you tell me any specific models?
