If it had an HDMI port, it'd be great for hacking on, since you could build all kinds of media center type applications with it. You could make your own Ouya. Without any video output, it doesn't have the utility of a (small) computer. Most of the devices on that list have an HDMI port.
My HTC Evo phone, now 2+ years old, has a mini HDMI port. I don't understand why companies are now shipping tablets without one.
Whoah, there's tons of new ones since last I looked, including numerous Android 4.0 models, with seemingly pretty good hardware.
I'm almost at the point where I think I could use one of those as my primary computer...plug in a mouse and keyboard, a big 1080P monitor, and do everything online. The ssh clients for Android, so far, are insufficient, however...but, I guess I could use OpenSSH in a terminal if I were using a full keyboard. That'd be an interesting experiment.
If only I didn't need to occasionally do compute-intensive audio and graphic work...
For the compute-intensive work, why not just shell into a beefy box? We spent $3k on a 96M RAM 12core(+ht means 24 apparent cores) box that we run OpenStack on, with a big-ass SSD and 2 TB of spinny platters, and it's PHENOMENAL to use remotely :)
