Come Natty - the Unity touchscreen interface should be pretty slick too - so
I would definitely stick with Ubuntu ( as opposed to Android - especially
given the pain of a time you'll have figuring drivers out that will most
likely not exist for your hardware ).  Ubuntu comes with the Gnome On Screen
Keyboard - I believe you can setup it's activation toggles within the
Accessibility settings.  More info here:

+1 on Linaro - from what I've seen it looks very cool.

+1 on seeing this thing in action!

And if you can figure out getting LCARS setup in some fashion like this guy
- I'll buy one from you! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP4n0p7Z4jA

Cheers,
David
