Description
The yarvik http://www.yarvik.com/ tablet is based on a table reference design used for most of the cheap andoid tablets available on the market at the moment. The key her is that you do not need to run 'android' on these platforms, you can re-flash them with your own linux, in this case Doudou Linux. Then i would have a cheap, easily replaceable platform to run it on, that uses touchscreen interaction. My child can already use the android touch interface on it, i think it would be great to have Doudou linux on it too.
I should really proofread my stuff.

While we are interested in putting DoudouLinux on tablets in the future, we unfortunately haven't any tablet to work on porting. We even don't know how easy or not its use with fingers is. And finally our team is too small to look at tablets right now, especially in the case of ARM tablets for which tweaking is required to correctly handle hardware. Of course if you feel like helping us, this would be greatly appreciated :).
