I have a SmartQ V7 tablet that triple boots Android, Linux, and Windows CE. They exist but generally aren't great. The V7 has a resistive touchscreen and is a bit old at this stage but does web browsing and HD video fine. I also got Debian up and running on it.

Interesting. How often do you use Linux on it? Are there many touch screen applications? How do you find them?
