I would like to buy a tablet cause smartphones are too short ...I would like to read some developer and linux ebooks or tutorial; that's why I would like to get a tablet. Is there any tablet out there that you can install like at least maybe notepad++ or any good editor for javascript or php?????????

I know that iPads have a PHP app available that (supposedly) provides a simple environment to write simple scripts. There may be a JS app, too. I haven't tried them myself. That said, iPads don't give file system access, so they're very limited.

 

Androids, out of the box, don't allow file system access either, but you can probably find some sort of jail broken firmware that will help along those lines.

 

The simplest would be a Windows 8 tablet. The RT versions are limited to just the Metro interface, but the Pros are full Windows 8 computers. Slap VirtualBox on it with whatever *nix distro you like, and you have a portable development machine.
