Mr. Doctorow at the boingboings did a thing about this, too.
I remember watching that keynote some time ago. I agree with kleinbl00 in that it's not the nature of the device (tablet vs. laptop) that will ultimately bring about more closed systems. The biggest threat is probably industry lobbying that backs up DRM, patents, etc.

Indeed it would seem that phone vs tablet is an interesting debate as well.The U.S. Copyright Office published a document on Oct. 26, specifying that while jailbreaking a smartphone is deemed legal, the same rules do not apply to gaming consoles or tablets like Apple's iPad or the Microsoft Surface.
