Study on repurposability of tablets:

The ability to change software and firmware, even run other Linux OS'es such as Ubuntu, Gentoo and Android - because the tablet is not locked like iPhone, G1, etc.

To be able to re-purpose the tablets when they are technologically obsolete and unsupported by vendor, to have other purpose than being a mobile device (think secondary screen to your PC; picture frame; etc) - is it more environmentally friendly? Comparison to communities where you have to jailbreak or get developer key (OLPC, G1, iPhone, phones) to alter your operating system.. and ones you do not.
