Ask Slashdot: Tablet With Root Access By Default?

Posted by timothy on from the oh-you-want-everything dept.

hweimer writes "I am looking for a small (7") tablet that comes with root access out of the box. I know, I could get one of the usual suspects and root it myself, but I don't want to waste my time in the process and end up voiding my warranty. Basically, I'd like to use it for web browsing, reading PDFs and accessing my e-mails via SSH (extra bonus for X11 forwarding). Any good suggestions, or should I wait for Tizen devices to hit the market?"

    I think you guys are missing the point- wasn't this just an advertisement for Tizen devices?
