Liquidware (an open-source electronics firm) has released a kit that can be used to make a linux tablet with a 4.3" (480x272) OLED touch display. The kit includes a BeagelBoard Rev C4 board (with a 720Mhz ARM Cortex-A8 OMAP CPU), 20mm speaker, SD slot (it comes with a 4GB card), Wi-Fi, mini USB port and a battery.
So you won't get a real tablet - it's very thick, and not very pretty - but you can play videos and access the web. And it costs just $393. Here's a short video on the kit:
