I think what I really want is a Linux tablet.

The latest MS Surface Go is just about right for hardware but we have no such thing for Linux. If I had that, then I could use any Linux phone with hotspot. I use an iPod Touch dedicated for Spotify, maps and messaging. No other social.

Funny you should mention that - they also announced the "PineTab" in the same announcement, amongst a bunch of other nifty looking goodies. They say it'll cost only $79 ($99 with a clip-on keyboard). I can see these being super useful in a lot of situations.

I thought I read that the Surface Go is usable under Linux, might be worth investigating?
