Assuming you don't consider something running the linux kernel to be linux (ahem, android)

>It is the World’s FIRST Consumer-level Linux Tablet.

ExoPC 2.0 came out in 2010, running MeeGo, which was a linux tablet that shipped with an OS maintained and hosted by the Linux Foundation.

>It is the FIRST Tablet powered by JingOS – the World’s FIRST Linux Tablet OS.

MeeGo, MaeMo, and the associated tablet OSes from that era shipped over a decade ago.

>It is the FIRST Time you can use a Linux-based Tablet as your daily driver.

To be fair, the ExoPC was a huge piece of crap.
