As a techie and a human, I know that people "freak up" way more often. So yeah I want to ride self-driving cars. But more scary to me is the interim period where the technology is immature and there is a mix of computers and human drivers on the road.
Archos have a range of tablets at good prices. Just be careful if you're doing UI work, because the smaller models have a resistive touch screen.
But pretty much all Android devices can function without a SIM anyway.
Ok, I work for Star so I'm biased but if direct thermal printing suits your requirements then I highly recommend the TSP828L. It's a quick, robust, versatile label printer and we provide a lot of support for Linux. We have supported CUPS drivers, JavaPOS, C based comms/status API (with a Java wrapper) and pretty good Linux support if you need it.
