Without knowing what Tablet OS you are targeting it is difficult to give you advice. You can just search on google for the terms "kiosk mode" + whatever OS and that should give you what you are looking for.
A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day.
“The speed and flexibility is breathtaking,” the executive said. “There’s no American plant that can match that.”
This?
“They could hire 3,000 people overnight,” said Jennifer Rigoni, who was Apple’s worldwide supply demand manager until 2010, but declined to discuss specifics of her work. “What U.S. plant can find 3,000 people overnight and convince them to live in dorms?”
or this?
“Another critical advantage for Apple was that China provided engineers at a scale the United States could not match. Apple’s executives had estimated that about 8,700 industrial engineers were needed to oversee and guide the 200,000 assembly-line workers eventually involved in manufacturing iPhones. The company’s analysts had forecast it would take as long as nine months to find that many qualified engineers in the United States.”
So no it wouldn't be possible for Apple to move production to the United States and get the same production and flexibility that they do in China for a couple dollars more in labor costs per unit. I would say it is not even possible to get near the same level.
Android 3.1 and up allow apps to use USB Host mode to access USB devices. So you can use game pads and such without rooting.
For iOS devices, redpark makes a RS232 cable that plugs into the dock connector. I have used it in a few projects and it works well for sending small data commands but not as a data link for something like tethering.

It was Apple's walled garden and strict control over iOS that led to Android. Google came to the conclusion that at any time they could get locked out of the biggest smart phone OS. They had no choice but to enter the market to guarantee their future survival.
What legal requirement? Google doesn't have to release any of the Android source code because they chose the Apache license. The parts of Android under GPL like the kernel have been released. Also Google has a better track record of releasing source code than most companies so I think they have earned a bit of slack in this situation.
Thanks for creating the reality distortion field

His greatest invention but doesn't get enough press.
The reason phones use ARM chips is because ARM focused on providing low power consumption solutions. Intel/AMD basically ignored the mobile phone sector for a long time.
Google doesn't need to get into bed with cable companies. Not when they can slip in between the cable box and the TV (Logitech Revue) or directly into the the TV (Sony). I think about the only thing you can expect to see from this acquisition is a new Google TV device from Motorola. GoogleTV may not have taken off yet but I believe it is only a matter of time.
Annoys me when I get a unwanted chat message on Facebook. I want to completely disable the chat feature but there is no way that I know of. I can sign out of chat but that won't stop Facebook from automatically signing me back in later. The last thing I want is video chat requests popping up in my browser.. ugh
You would think those channel owners would be happy that their viewers can watch their shows from anywhere in their home and they didn't have to do a damn thing!

South Korea and North Korea and technically still at war. He is lucky that he isn't tried as a spy.
Nokia was basically giving away the Lumia 900 for free for a while with their $100 rebate. So no, it is not selling well at all.

"Operators then may want to customize the software, and the OS must be localized for the market and language."
I think that is where the bulk of the time is spent.

Placing a loading status icon in the content viewing area of a browser.
Compatibility of file names employed by current and outmoded operating systems.
Storing input/output factors in a shared data structure.
Simulating mouse inputs using non-mouse devices. (Really????)
Browser that recognizes background images in an electronic document and displays the background images after text.
Putting known tab controls into an operating system for use by all applications, rather than providing tabs on an application-by-application basis.
Using handles to change the size of selection areas for selected text.
Storing and displaying annotations of text which is not modifiable.
It's more like they gave you a book but didn't say which page it is on.

Android is just a phone OS. iPhone and Blackberry actually make their own phones. You can't blame Android for crappy hardware.
Jobs didn't park in handicap spaces because they were closer to the buildings. He parked in them because he was an asshole.

Why would one crash bring an end to robotic cars? Crashes can be expected while they are still developing this car.
Of course prosecutors can be disbarred! What's next, prosecutors are immune to death?

This will be news if Apple can maintain its growth. My gut feeling is the companies that bought those Macs are going to be regretting it.

Everyone in the Congressional Budget Office needs to be fired immediately. That would reduce the amount of taxes the government needs to collect...
